KFBK/Sacramento's Dan Mitchinson: Hey, Boy George Blocked (Then Unblocked) Me On Twitter!

Blocked!

iHEARTMEDIA News-Talk KFBK-A-F/SACRAMENTO morning co-host DAN MITCHINSON likes BOY GEORGE well enough, but that wasn't enough to prevent the CULTURE CLUB singer from blocking MITCHINSON on Twitter after MITCHINSON commented on GEORGE walking out on a TV interview.

The trouble began on TVONE/NEW ZEALAND's "SEVEN SHARP," when co-host TONI STREET asked GEORGE about an incident involving a male escort a few years ago.  GEORGE walked out:

And the interview precipitated a series of tweets:

@BoyGeorge here in the US. Watched your New Zealand interview w/ @SevenSharp Thought question was fair. Were you having a bad night?Be well.

Well, equally fair is my blocking you! https://t.co/4dlwvkyN1h

@MyRhondamariott @BoyGeorge @SevenSharp I watched it, and I know cheap shots when I see them, but honestly thought this was handled well.

@dmitchinson @BoyGeorge @SevenSharp I know does not need me to defend but I believe he & his Family deserve privacy on this very old issue.

@MyRhondamariott @BoyGeorge @SevenSharp well, I see your point. Ironic he's for "freedom of speech," but blocked me from twitter :(

After being blocked, MITCHINSON wrote at the KFBK website, "I'm still a fan George, and would love to be friends again, but like you wrote in your song 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,' when it comes to Twitter, "I'm prepared to let you go."

But by the end of THURSDAY, all was well once again between MITCHINSON and GEORGE:

Thank's for being such a good sport.Didn't mean to trash you. Honestly was wondering if u were having tough night or question was too harsh? https://t.co/hmuOHUPJap

@dmitchinson Had no idea you were so important! Lol! If you are the margin of what's fair, you need to get out more! :)
