I went to Twitter:

"Account suspended

My guess is that it's a dummy/fake account.

I read where I found this that she had also posted a lot of vile and abusive stuff about gay people and others before her account was taken down.

I don t know where that that scooter person got the idea that I hate gay people.

I don t think that he heard it from me....

I don t care much for the "i m here and I m queer crowd", but I don t like militant types much any way.

and..., it should read Wes' not wes's

Canadians.... (insert eyeroll here)

I think that the whole niceness thing might just be exaggerated.....

It was actually more about her believing she could abort a full grown person that made me think of you, but...

Ahem:
Per APA Style, the answer is that the possessive of a singular name is formed by adding an apostrophe and an s, even when the name ends in s (see p. 96 in the sixth edition of the Publication Manual). Therefore, in the example above, the correct usage would be “Adams’s (2013) work.” Although this presentation may look awkward to some writers, the rule for forming the possessive does not change just because the name ends in s.
APA Style
Q. When indicating possession of a word that ends in s, is it correct to repeat the s after using an apostrophe? For example, which is correct: “Dickens’ novel” or “Dickens’s novel”?

A. Either is correct, though we prefer the latter.
