Blunble Bot for Twitter

	//
	// BLUNBLE BOT (by @levelsio)
	//
	// "Blunble" is Korean internet slang for [BL]ock [UNBL]ock
	// If you block and unblock somebody on Twitter, they stop following you.
	// It's a polite way of getting rid of trolls without permanently blocking
	// because blocking usually results in more anger and more trolling.
	//
	// WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES:
	//
	// 1) Gets your muted accounts list (max 200 users)
	// 2) Checks if they follow you
	// 2) Blocks and unblocks (or blunbles) each account (and then waits 2 minutes
	// due to rate limiting)
	// 4) Blunbling auto unfollows them from your account
	//
	// THIS LETS YOU:
	// 1) Mute trolls on Twitter
	// 2) And they'll then automatically stop following you when the script runs
	//
	// HOW TO INSTALL:
	//
	// 1) You need a server with PHP
	// 2) You need the TwitterOAuth library from https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth
	// 3) Add your consumer key, consumer secret, user token and user secret from Twitter
	// see how to here: https://themepacific.com/how-to-generate-api-key-consumer-token-access-key-for-twitter-oauth/994/
	// 4) Set it up as a cron that runs daily (or more) like this: @daily blunble.php
	//
	// Note:
	// * This will keep blocking/unblocking your entire mute list every day
