Someone added me to a twitter list named with an offensive word. I tried contacting him, but he does not respond nor remove me from the twitter list.

How can I remove myself from Twitter lists created by others?

The list shows on my profile, this is very embarassing.

It's easy, really:

1. Click on the twitter list that you’ve been listed on.

2. Click on the user that created that list

3. On their user profile, look for this button and click on it:



4. From the dropdown menu, choose "block user"

Done! You are now removed from his or her list.

PS. You can immediately unblock the follower again, so that they can continue to follow you, but you will not be featured on their list again...
