This sounds like an isolated demand for rigor (http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/14/beware-isolated-demands-for-rigor/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/14/beware-isolated-demands...). Your initial message judged nearly all HN readers as unqualified to comment based on no evidence. Now you can't hold the protesters to the same standard unless every element of their ignorance is proved.
What makes you think that my impression of you comes from one data point? This and other threads make it clear who you are willing to take to task and who you will not call out for their bad behavior.
- tptacek 9y agoAnd now, instead of talking about Alice Dreger, you've completed your pivot to addressing the entire argument to me personally. I can't imagine anything productive coming out of this discussion anymore and so have collapsed the thread.
- haberman 9y agoThis whole thread I've been arguing that Alice Dreger isn't the point, the point is that a lot of people are willing to protest and tar the reputations of others based on flimsy (and in this case completely fabricated) pretenses. I wish you would be willing to see that this is a problem, but instead you spent the whole thread redirecting. I addressed you because you incorrectly accused me of forming an opinion of your beliefs based on one data point.
