I am not entirely sure why Mashable gets itself consumed by such petty and trivial tripe. It almost feels like those who adore Twitter are trying to take the community thing too far by now starting to gossip about neighbours, just like happens in real communities. To those of us who don't follow the people you are talking about (and we number about 5,775,000 I would guess) this just looks like a very geeky soap -- Twynasty perhaps?

Please Retweet

Seems like this is turning into a witch hunt at this point. Even if he did have a meltdown and even if he has make a fake claim of a hack there are still a lot of major a-holes out there. One response I found regarding this incident:
"dani3boyz: RT DM @astrospace I hope you die, you and all the other white trash on here. You brainless, insolent fucking garbage (nice, huh!)"
I thought twitter was for stream of consciousness navel gazing... not that I don't like it...
if 28K people followed astrospace, surely there must have been something compelling about him/her/it... everyone has meltdowns now and again... I'm sure like most situations it will blow over and we can get back to our navel gazing...

Yeah, I unfollowed him after he "returned", cause I didn't get around to it last night after his bama remark which ticked me off. I felt he was lying about his account being hacked. The mention of "speaking with the FBI" is really what made me go...yeah...riiiight. I even wrote a tweet to him to say that, but decided to delete it and not get involved in an argument over the internets.

Twits. Who cares really?
Twitter seems to have a hardcore following of people that are super into it but it will pass. It used to be everybody IMing or MySpacing or whatever. Twitter will peak and then slowly decline because it is just a social messanger interface and eventually it will be replaced as email and IMing and TXTing and all that merge and become more universal.

I liked and learned something from this article, so the Twitter coverage is fine with me. Also, while I would never want to meet him in real life, I will happily continue to follow @astrowhatever. I eagerly await his next inevitable meltdown. The funny thing is that his meltdown was the most interesting thing he ever posted. His space stuff was pretty boring.

The fact that this guy is whining and complaining about loosing followers really bothers me. Myspace/Facebook and now Twitter all eventually become a popularity contest where people try to collect followers like they are commodities. If the user's content was good enough the people would have returned. In the end the content and sharing of ideas is all that matters, not the number at the top of your profile.

As I tweeted to you earlier, it is more likely that he never deleted any of his accounts. From what I've gathered, I propose modifying your Likely Series of events to reflect the following:
1. Motivated by a dispute with Twitter and @crystal, @astrospace posted the Twitter “meltdownâ€
2. @astrospace changes username to @zx152 and begins deleting his posts. He also changes or deletes @sts_126, @helpanimals, and other accounts
3. Spotting the username was available, an opportunist grabbed the @astrospace account on Twitter
4. @zx152 posts this tweet that references the now deleted rant post. Although he claims he deleted the account, Twitterholic makes it abundantly clear he only changed the username.
5 @zx152 changes username to @astronautics and begins claiming a hacker is responsible for @astrospace.
6 @astronautics is now taken offline

If he just looked a lil further he would have known that these incidents were not hacking, they were simply using the naive users, they were a simple fake login screen, so its not twitters fault.

I did follow Astrospace for a while there, when it was all spacenews. I unfollow people - anyone at all- who count out in tweets how many people that are following them as this seems to be the first sign of insanity. Tweets like "Who will be my 1000th follower? I'll buy you a drink" , or "(Brand name) welcomes our 30,000th follower" whatever. You're crazy for counting heads on twitter, -"unfollow" - buh-bye! So, it's very likely I unfollowed the account right at their first public headcount/whine about loss of followers. What a bummer, I missed all the drama.

Dear Mashable Writers Is this site a news site or a gossip column?
News (pl.n. - used with a sing. verb) 1.1. Information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by newspapers, periodicals, radio, or television. 1.2. A presentation of such information, as in a newspaper or on a newscast. 2. New information of any kind: The requirement was news to him. 3. Newsworthy material: “a public figure on a scale unimaginable in America; whatever he did was news†(James Atlas).
Gossip (n.) 1. Rumor or talk of a personal, sensational, or intimate nature. 2. A person who habitually spreads intimate or private rumors or facts. 3. Trivial, chatty talk or writing. 4. A close friend or companion. 5. Chiefly British. A godparent.
I have nothing against Twitter. It's rapid growth against others last year was news. This is not news. Even on a really slow news day. You might as well start writing articles about how you saw two people in Walmart having an argument or someone beep their horn because someone else overtook them.

Alright look, I know there's no rules, no set guidlines for the right way to tweet. But this is insane. @astrospaz is going for the goal of most followers for what, bragging rights? It's supposed to be a social interaction TOOL not a competition to see who has the biggest metaphorical 'space-ship.'
And complaining for the lack of speedy service, seriously? News flash @astro-mcbighead: Twitter services the world over, not just you. What if you tweeted like the rest of us, interacting with followers and not simply asigning a bot to follow your followers without discretion?
@astro-mcrobot can whine on any public forum about how poor Twitter's response team is, when in fact the only thing he's accomplishing is drawing more attention to his unreasonable requests after misusing a service. I'd like to see @astro-hissyfit take a page from his own book and try responding to ONE of the 28,000 tweets he could possibly recieve daily. Then he might be able to grasp the magnitude of abuse he's inflicting on the twittersphere.

I can't blame them for being furious, though I have to disagree with them on the censorship issue (read my blog for more thoughts on the issue).
I think, however, they need to calm it down at this point. Sounds like they're just looking for attention. There's more mature ways of handling an issue of this nature.

FYI, @Astronautics has had another "meltdown" and is gathering his followers to gang up on his latest victims. If you have been watching his timeline of late, you will have seen his fantastic tales of women falling in love with him and his attacks on people who stand up to his lies and hatred. You will have noticed that he quickly removes his abusive posts from his Twitter site and spreads his infection through his Direct Messages. Yes, he is libelous, abusive and a coward - all because he was - shot down - dropped and blocked.
Report his abuse.
HOW TO NOT: Manage Social Media Goals and Expectations...just ask @Astronautics.
NOTICE: @Astronautics has just posted his new site on Twitter @Moontiger . Feeling the regret of attacking Twitter users? I sense another article update by Ben and Pete coming on :-o

Anybody who simultaneously posts their innermost thoughts for all to read, and then demands "privavcy" needs to see a psychiatrist. Twitter is not meant to be a secure or serious form of communication, it's more like the bulletin board in your college dorm, with rants, party invites, and general mental meanderings freely posted for whomever to see.

I feel for the guy, but there's a time and a place, especially when your main following is strangers rather than friends. Just booted up my laptop and a whole page of posts at the top of Twhirl is from @Astronautics, and not a single one has anything to do with the space programme.
On the basis of past form, @Astronautics will now brand me a 'troll.' It seems to be the standard response to anyone who's less than sympathetic. I notice that @Mashable is now in his sights.
I'm not the sort who finds a morbid fascination in watching a car crash, and watching a stranger go through an eposide of severe depression and paranoia is no fun to me at all. I'll be unfollowing shortly. Anyone know of a decent alternative for space-related news without the emotional baggage?
