Basically, if a political or government figure blocks you on twitter, is that a violation of free spech since the government is preventing you from seeing and commenting on its message.


I'd say no since you can log out and read it.  But if they locked it to just friends while tweeting government messages...
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Dumb.

My friends, please remember Tom said this the next time you fall into the trap of engaging him, and thank you. :)
