I'm going off of recollection here, but wasn't the first "news" reported as though it was a response to a request from muslims on campus? Or was that an assumption on the part of outsiders? Bardo's comments certainly make it sound like that was his impression, too.

Unless something is wrong with my Tweeter feed, they continue to take down the tweets on this topic fairly soon after they are posted. I don't know their policies but assume they have a some type of flagging system. I find this strange, being for free speech, but...In the fast laneComment

If I go back four hours or more, there are still a lot of them. I wonder if people were retweeting something that had been subsequently deleted.Comment

The first article does stateOriginally posted by RoyalShock View Post
Muslims say they feel taken aback. They’d asked for the accommodation in the spring, in part, because they had difficulty finding a prayer space on campus. Some had been praying inside the book stack aisles at Ablah Library on campus.
But the guy in the in the most recent article printed has been on Social Media from the time the story first launched saying exactly what he said in the "newer" artilce. Which I quote (and can be seen by going to the original link)
Personally speaking - I think anybody that really has a problem with this place being used to serve all faiths is an asshole.and I'll note again - the muslim students were not the only people making this request. The SGA President that spearheaded the public discussion and made it a centerpiece of his successful campaign is not a Muslim. I, as a pastor who worked on campus with an ecumencial ministry at the time, am not muslim. This continued to be mischaracterized and misunderstood.

Most likely it's because they're not real accounts but bot accounts that are set up to retweet and/or post tweets across a multitude of accounts. Were all the messages identical tweets, or very very similar in wording? If so, it's probably one bot that controls 20-50 accounts set to post about a certain topic and it'll tweet it out around the same time too.
Now if it's actual people tweeting about it, and they're getting deleted, I have no idea.
I see it occasionally from different basketball related twitter bot accounts. There is one bot that runs a twitter for almost every NBA player and it's always similar to @Player_Name_NBANews and they'll tweet some random WSU related tweet and it'll be duplicated numerous times from different "NBA Player" news account.Comment

Once @CBB_Fan: pointed out that this place was never a Christian establishment, that pretty much ended the debate right there. The Christian group that actually uses the space wanted the pews gone well before the Muslims even asked if they could use the space. This is unfortunate knee-jerk reaction by a few that ended up causing tremendous snowball of misinformation.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment
