So, a "PR" person, who was given some files she does not understand by an ex-twitter employee and has been "revealing" them (misleadingly) is now freaking out that that someone from the State Dept visited her public website, claiming that the gov't is trying to intimidate her. By... visiting her public website after she claimed to be releasing things. And she's asking Elon why it's happening. It's very, very silly and confused people all around.

Is that even a normal looking report? Wouldn't it show an ip visited her site? I'm not super familiar with website visit reporting

@PhilGastwirth @mmasnick It's doing a reverse DNS lookup to see where the computer was that visited the site. She's stupid.

Are they confused, or are they projecting confusion to confuse others? Lying has a social function

@RnDanger @PhilGastwirth @mmasnick She's a paranoid moron that turned on 'security features' she doesn't understand. Interestingly none of the quote tweets or replies are even attempting to explain what it means.

It literally means someone on a computer at that company accessed the website. That's literally it.

I just ran it on my domain. Oh no! THE GERMANS ARE SPYING ON ME BY ACCESSING MY WEBSITE!

@TheChrisGlass @RnDanger @PhilGastwirth @mmasnick Exactly. Years ago on my blog, looked up people visiting out of curiosity. Some were from government sites. As I had blogged about 9/11 and after, didn’t think it was nefarious just someone that worked at those agencies. They might have been curious about what I wrote, why I supported W or they might have come for the #Cats

Some people are clueless. Lots of those at the #Birdsite

@strong_sue @RnDanger @PhilGastwirth @mmasnick But it's not just being clueless, it's instantly thinking of the most "I am the main character in this world" pattern of thought where every conspiracy is about you. All the replies to her support her idea that she's being tracked and INTIMIDATED. No amount of explanation will ever fix that.
