So what I got from reading the Weiss revelations was that opinion among Twitter figures was divided, just like opinions on the issue will likely shape how individual readers respond to the "bombshell revelations". I wasn't particularly invested in Twitter banning Trump, but based on his behavior I certainly don't have a problem with the fact that they did. His behavior leading up to and including his actions on Jan 6 alone made me fine with their decision to ban him and none of these "revelations" are going to change that...
Some people didn't feel his actions violated standards and plenty of others did. You seem to be applying more importance to the ones who felt his behavior didn't constitute a violation... "
They tried to find a violation of their standards. They weren’t successful.", while ignoring the people who did feel it was a violation and suspension was long overdue. I'm just enough of a contrarian to reverse the level of importance, when it comes to which opinion on the matter should prevail.
The fact that they allowed him to spew his nonsensical conspiracy theories up thru Jan 6 indicates to me that they basically gave him enough rope to hang himself. They also concluded, based on the statement they published at the time, that his cynical announcement that he wouldn't attend the Inauguration was an intentional dog whistle to violence prone election deniers, and I whole heartedly agree...
They put this statement out on Jan 8 2021, and based on available evidence it is accurate today and will likely be just as accurate on Jan 8, 2023...
"The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”
is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election."
Suspension of @realDonaldTrump

Doesn't that perfectly describe the situation and Trump's behavior for the course of the nearly 2 yrs since he was banned? And some people employ revisionist history and want to claim that it was a mistake to do so? I don't get it...
