Apparently they watch and when you unfollow someone, they tweet to let you and everyone else know that specifically YOU stopped following someone else.

How fucking passive agressive is that? It’s like getting up to leave church/class/work and then some idiot loudmouth screams out HEY STEPHENS LEAVING!!

BLOCKED.

I had my first incident with this the other day when I unfollowed someone. I find it incredibly hard to understand why it matters so much who follows you.  … Twitter is about who you follow, not who follows you.

I’ve also blocked these. They’re ridiculous.

I’ll admit I experience a few minutes of butthurt when someone I like unfollows me. (And it’s happened — a lot.) But I get over it — pretty quickly, too — because, hell, I unfollow people all the time. I’ve realized that after about 200 or so people, I simply can’t keep up anymore.

There are at least 30-40 people (if not more, because apparently I’m not actually following some of the people I thought I was) who I would *love* to follow, but I just can’t add any more without getting rid of others. I try to weed through my list every month or so, but it’s harder to unfollow someone when they sit across from you for 40 hours a week, or when they’re one of your drinking buddies — even if you don’t necessarily enjoy their tweets.

But, regardless, if you *do* decide to unfollow someone for whatever reason, you shouldn’t have to put up with some Twitterbot telling the whole world about it. That’s douchebaggery of the highest order.

Many of their @MonkeyButler’s seem to have been suspended (at least from MonkeyButler20 and up.
