Who's ready for another edition of "As The Doppler Turns?"
Earlier this year, while I complained about Mike Morgan blocking TLO on Twitter, Emily Sutton jumped in with a strange revelation – David Payne had blocked her on Twitter:
If you can get David Payne to unblock me on Twitter!
If you were to come up with a list of "Least Likely Local Media Personality To Be Blocked On Twitter," Emily Sutton wouldn't even make it. That's how unblockable she is. It makes you wonder what she did to deserve this level of brutal, yet casual social media disrespect. Was it user error by Payne? Is he worried that Emily was ripping off his weather forecasts? Was Lacey Swope was pointing a crossbow at this throat? We may never know the truth.
He's the only person in TV news to block her? Emily needs to step up her troll game immediately! She should probably begin by cyberbullying Lucas Ross.
Naturally, gracious and thoughtful Twitter users decided to chime in with their 2-cents rants:
Emily, why did you feel the need to blast a person blocked you on a tweet asking about funnels? You didn’t answer the tweet. Not understanding the point here.
Here at The Lost Ogle, we only like to see weather folks bicker and fight whenever we're the ones who instigate it. Since we had nothing to do with this social media blockgate, we're going to offer a solution...
Hey Marla, how's it going? Still enjoying your Ogle Madness XI victory? When you get a chance, can you send a text over to your old storm chasing pal David Payne to see if he can unblock Emily Sutton on Twitter. We know you go way back:
Even if your attempt fails, I think everyone in the metro, especially our adorable severe weather princess, would appreciate it. Plus, if David follows through, it will give us a chance to write about you again. Everyone likes that!
