The '"alt-right" commenter' referred to in the second paragraph kicked the whole thing off, and was then replied to by Mike Stuchbery here: https://twitter.com/MikeStuchbery_/status/889846960139751424

Unfortunately twitter doesn't seem to be presenting the thread of Mike's replies any more, which seems like a failing of the platform.

Do you mean these replies?

Al Binnie-Lubbock @alastairis · Jul 26 Replying to @MikeStuchbery_ and @PrisonPlanet I enjoyed this thread apart from the ableism in the first tweet. Not cool.

No. Mike originally replied in a thread of several messages, each a reply to the previous one. When I first read the thread a few days ago twitter would show you all his replies in one page so you could read through them. The Telegraph seem to have replicated the thread into the article they've written about the incident: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/27/alt-right-comment...

My guess is that as the thread became popular and more people replied to parts of it, twitter favours presenting more of the recent replies and the original thread becomes harder to see.
