Phil Johnson Permanently Suspended From Twitter
Don't be surprised if the world hates you...
The estimable Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, founder and former curator of The Spurgeon Archive, and one of our favorite people ever, has been permanently suspended from Twitter after he decried the stationing of drag-queen crossing guards at elementary schools as “state-sponsored grooming.”
We say permanently, or at least if and until Elon Musk purchases Twitter and loosens the rules, because the censorious, science-denying big tech overlords insist that Johnson delete his tweet to have the ban lifted, something he says he isn’t willing to do.
He writes: “I’m refusing to admit that this constituted harassment or a threat of violence against anyone. It was a statement of my moral convictions regarding a news story” and that “I am NOT going to delete that Tweet. Their demand for me to confess an untruth is nothing short of ideological blackmail.”
Johnson has 73.2k followers, 22k tweets, millions of impressions, and his presence will be missed.
At the rate things are going, we know we’ll be following soon.
