That Guy 888

...On Monday, Giordano raised eyebrows—and concern—when he told the world he had the personal information of a number of journalists and personalities from Twitter’s left wing accounts.

It all began with a bracketed competition to determine the winner of Twitter’s Shit Account Tourney 2016. The competition is divided into brackets; Twitter users are asked to vote on each contest for which is the worse account. Giordano faced off against Center for American Progress President and CEO and welfare reform implementer Neera Tanden.

Tanden won by eight percentage points.

...After his loss, Giordano launched into a tweetstorm, saying, in part, “These 4,673 accounts [behind the voting] likely represent fewer than 2,000 actual persons. I hope [twitter support] will study their abuses & act on them. This is the core group of “Alt-left,” “Bernie Bro,” “dirtbag left,” Intercept, Jacobin, Bruenig boys, whatever name they go by… the dozen or so ringleaders have first names, last names, addresses, jobs. I have a lot of that info (and feel free to email me more).”

I dream of Democratic candidates and supporters that don't keep enemy lists like Dick Nixon.
