CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If you’re one of Dave Hill’s 55,000 Twitter followers, you’ve probably noticed the comedian, author, actor, and musician hasn’t tweeted in a couple of days, which is unusual for the Cleveland native.

That’s because Twitter suspended his account this week for “abusive Tweets or behavior” aimed at the pro-Trump supporters who fill his mentions with personal attacks, and, sometimes, threats.

This isn’t the first time Hill, whose feed can be described as hilarious, offensive or both depending on your perspective, has run afoul of Twitter’s rules. He was banned for a week once before, he says, for the same reason.

"Basically I was suspended for making mother jokes at MAGAts who tweeted all sorts of horrible things at me, including threats of violence in addition to the usual racist, homophobic, and transphobic chestnuts," he says.

cleveland.com isn’t going to reprint any of the tweets that got him banned. Just think “yo momma” jokes, but a bit more crude and you’ve got the gist.

"It's annoying because it's just so absurd on so many levels," Hill says of the Twitter ban. "We have a 'president' who sides with white supremacists and murderous dictators and threatens to annihilate whole countries on Twitter when he actually has the power to do that and he is allowed to tweet around the clock without penalty."

The offending tweets were essentially harmless jokes, as he points out, he never met any of the people he responded to or did the things he described.

“I’m equal parts ashamed and proud of the fact that I am resorting to mother jokes a twelve year-old would make as a middle-aged man,” he quips. “I blame the system. But I also thank the system.”

Hill thinks the ban, which he has appealed, could actually be a blessing.

"Yesterday, I learned a bunch of stuff about bees I never knew and, today, I am looking into the possibility of baking my own bread while simultaneously learning French," he jokes, or at least we think he's joking. "Oh and, of course, there's Instagram and Facebook."

Less time on Twitter also means Hill has more time to focus on his current projects, which include his third book, “Parking the Moose,” out October 8, gigs with his bands, recording an album and standup shows in Europe.

“So, staying busy!”
