Twitter has rejected my account suspension appeal again. I've appealed yet again.

I know it might seem like I'm beating my head against a brick wall repeatedly appealing suspension of my @ChuckBaggett account, but I've read claims that accounts have be reopened after a much longer period of suspension than mine, and after filing repeated appeals, so I'm acting on the chance that that's true. I don't know if I an make my chances any worse than they seem now.

Twitter has rejected my appeal of the suspension of my @ChuckBaggett account once again. It's been suspended since July 8th. I've appealed again. Here's the text of my latest appeal. It's run together blocks because Twitter provides only the most primitive tools for writing appeals in, as if it is 1995 instead of 2019.

You are misinterpreting a completely harmless tweet as a threat or promotion of violence and have senselessly and unjustly suspended my account.  Your email about the suspension showed one tweet that you claimed was a threat or promoting violences, but it wasn't, and since it wasn't, you should not have suspended my account, and you should now correct this error by unsuspending my account. Here's a link to a blog post I wrote on why your judgment about what my tweet meant and why you should restore my account. Reply to Twitter re @ ChuckBaggett account suspension  Please ask @Delbius to look into this. I have used Twitter for over a decade for several purposes; one of those purposes has been to campaign for peace, non-violence, and a respect for human rights. I'll be glad  to delete any content you indicate as being threatening or a promotion of violence. 

I linked to a website written by someone else expressing their views, not mine. Surely we are allowed to link to websites as part of a discussion?  I tried to convey how the popular Gadsden flag symbol turns me off because it makes me feel like people using the symbol like it because it is threatening, because the rattlesnake is a symbol of the threat of being bitten by a rattlesnake.  This was not a threat to attack anyone. The phrase "I will kill you" in that tweet what I feel the people who like the Gadsden flag are trying to say by wearing it. I am not one of them. My account has ten years of my writing and is the only real connection I have with the world and it's cruel and hurtful to deprive me access to it because your system has made an error in interpreting my completely harmless and non-threatening words. 

Reply to Twitter re @ ChuckBaggett account suspension

​​It might be a waste of time to reply to this email from Twitter re my appeal of the suspension of my @ChuckBaggett account, but I did anyway. I get a bit emotional about losing access to my account for such a bogus, incorrect and unfair reason. 

I have access to this email address. The tweet shown as a threat or promoting violence was not a threat and was not promoting terrorism. I was stating my view that libertarians aren't seen as the noble defenders of peace, that some of them have extreme views on private weapon ownership and that some of them love imagery that seems threatening to me.
I have never threatened anyone on Twitter and have never and will never support violence or terrorism. Your system judgment of that tweet was in error. I'd be glad to delete any tweets you say are threats or promote violence but you've disabled my ability to use the account. 
The tweet shown as being in violation of twitter rules was  a reply to @libertarianism. I wasn't having an argument with @libertarianism and have never had any hostile discussions with them and have never had an ill will toward them. 
I've supported international peace, demilitarization, nuclear disarmament, an end to conflicts and wars in Yemen, Syria, and any and every other place plagued by violent conflict consistently for as long as I had my account. It would be hard for an account to be more of a supporter of peace and nonviolence than mine. 
You let me use other accounts. I'm the same person regardless of what account I use. I'm not being threatening or supporting violence or terrorism in the other accounts I use. I wasn't being threatening or supporting violence or terrorism in my @ChuckBaggett account. 
Please restore my @ChuckBaggett account.

My latest appeal to have my @ChuckBaggett Twitter account unsuspended

My Twitter account @ChuckBaggett, twitter.com/chuckbaggett, was closed on July 8, 2019, for what I think was an automated system misinterpreting my words in a way that an insightful human should recognize was not a violation of Twitter rules, as it was a use of a phrase that could be seen as violating Twitter rules but in context was not, which is a situation explicitly recognized as being possible in the Twitter rules at What is not a violation of this policy?.

We recognize that some people use violent language as part of hyperbolic speech or between friends, so  we also allow some forms of violent speech where it’s clear that there is no abusive or violent intent, e.g., “I’ll kill you for sending me that plot spoiler!”. 

 The email suspension notice I got on July 8, 2019, was as follows:

Violating our rules against posting violent threats.

You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.

Chuck Baggett: There is only struggle. @ChuckBaggett @libertarianism Libertarians are better known for defending the right to own and carry weapons, with some advocating privately owned nuclear weapons. Many libertarians love that Gadsden flag with the snake that means, if you bother me too badly, I'll kill you.

What I trying to say there was that while libertarians may think of themselves as being champions of peace, of non-aggression, I think they are actually seen as champions of the right to use force, as evidenced by their support of the 2nd Amendment, right to bear arms, with some even going to the extreme of defending the right of individuals to privately own nuclear weapons, and I included a link to article espousing this viewpoint; and that the Gadsden flag, a symbol from the American revolution with a rattlesnake and the motto "Don't Tread On Me," is seen by some libertarians as meaning something like, "I'm extremely reluctant to use force, so if you don't directly threaten me, I will leave you to go about your business as you choose," but which to me conveys something more like "Cross me and I'll kill you." 

 I am posting this here in hopes that maybe someone at Twitter or someone who knows someone at Twitter will see this post and be kind enough to help me get my account unsuspended. Maybe @TwitterSafety or the head of Twitter Trust and Safety, Del Harvey, will see this and take mercy on me. 

My latest appeal to Twitter was as follows:

Your determination that my account posted content that was threatening and/or promoting violence was in error. My account did not post content that was threatening and or in error, and should not have been suspended, and should be restored.
I think the problem may be that I posted a reply with the phrase "I'll kill you" and your automatic moderation system detected that and responded inappropriately.
I was using the phrase to show how I interpret a symbol commonly used by libertarians. It was not a threat. It was similar to the not violating uses described in your help files at https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/violent-threats-glorification quoted below:
"What is not a violation of this policy?"
We recognize that some people use violent language as part of hyperbolic speech or between friends, so  we also allow some forms of violent speech where it’s clear that there is no abusive or violent intent, e.g., “I’ll kill you for sending me that plot spoiler!”. "
I was not being threatening nor promoting or glorifying violence or terrorism.
I have been a consistent campaigner for peace, non-violence, and non-aggression for over 45 years. It is immensely sad and senseless to have my Twitter account I loved using closed in such an incorrect misinterpretation of my words.
Please call me at 601 362-6145 to discuss this matter. I think talking about this would be more useful than using these forms.
Please restore my account. Thank you.
