          Banning trans women on Tumblr who are mad at him for them being harassed through the platform: Important.

          Feuding with said trans women on Twitter: Important.

          Explaining their decision to sell the users data: Not important.

            And to add, admitting that Tumblr had an admin who charged for banning trans women: Important.

            Explaining wtf that was all about: Not important.

            He probably should be in rehab.
