OK, maybe I am #DoingItWrong, but don't you have to affirmatively choose to follow someone in order to see their tweets on your timeline? I mean, you don't/can't ever see even a single tweet from some dipshit unless you have clicked "Follow" on his profile with your own little pointer via your own account. So I don't get it -- how can some microdick "invade" your Twitter Timeline and harass you by sending you all kinds of smack if you haven't, uh, (metaphorically) opened the door and <b>let him in?</b> Don't you prescreen people before you click "Follow?" If you did, then YTF did you decide to start seeing that asswipe's Tweets?

A Twitter feed is kind of like having a bunch of radios in your house that are all tuned to different stations and are all on at the same time. The stations that they are tuned to have all been chosen by you. If one day one of them switches formats and starts hosting, say, Rushbo's show, you don't have to put up with listening to it. You can just turn that particular one off and toss it in the trash.
