Used by chronic pain patients to indicate they've been blocked by Andrew Kolodny, the executive director of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing (PROP.)
Kolodny has an overwhelming habit to misrepresent opioids (saying, for example, that prescription opioids are the problem when in fact it's illicit fentanyl, and ignoring that opioid prescribing has dramatically decreased while ODs continued to increase) as well as chronic pain patients - who he has called 'PR pawns for big pharma,' junkies, etc.
When a chronic pain patient confronts him with factual, sourced corrections to his misinformation, and questions regarding the propaganda - no matter how civil - he will block them and hide the tweet rather than let their voices be represented in a conversation that directly impacts their lives, and ignoring that PROP-pushed propaganda and misuse of CDC guidelines that have led to patients being forcibly tapered and taken off of their medication, including veterans and cancer patients, has led to many suicides amongst those with chronic pain.

CPP1: I got my star emoji today. Kolodny blocked me when I pointed out the CDC spoke out against forced tapering and cutting patients off of pain meds, and said the guidelines were being misused.
CPP2: Yeah, I got mine months ago when I linked research showing that Rx opioids weren't at fault. Welcome to the club.
