> If he wants to win a legal case, he should hire a good lawyer. That sounds reasonable. > If he had hired a good lawyer, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be seeing him doing interviews People who hire good lawyers don't do interviews? That's some stretch.

Well, if you are accused then it is certainly advisable to not provide more material that could be used against you. But he is the accuser here and the damage he can do talking is more limited.

Any decent lawyer will tell you that interviews rarely help and often hinder your case. And the times it can help your case it only does so if you've been well coached by a competent lawyer and manage to stick to the script.

  Also, if you're trying to claim you're pro-diversity, having your first two interviews be with people that many would consider strongly MRA / misogynistic might not look good.

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson a misogynist? Give me a break.

      He may or may not be a misogynist, but looking at his wikipedia page, he certainly spends significant time in the culture wars gutter discussing topics like: 5.1 White privilege 5.2 Feminist postmodernists – the Oedipal pathology 5.3 Cultural appropriation 5.4 Neo-Marxist postmodernists and 'identity politics'

Why would you truncate the second half of the second sentence you quoted?

    No, you were lying and putting words into his mouth by quoting him incorrectly. It's disgusting and you shouldn't do it. This: If he had hired a good lawyer, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be seeing him doing interviews Is a pretty baseless statement. It's also not what he said. This: If he had hired a good lawyer, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be seeing him doing interviews and tweeting images of himself wearing a T-shirt comparing Google to a gulag. Is a pretty good point.
