- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoThe article you publish is attempting to assign various incidents of forced retraction to political prejudice, but I don't see how any of those cases "makes someone look bad", as per my comment. Mostly, I see in the article an attempt to engage in the usual online culture war, but I can't say what is reported in the article is making me concerned about academic freedom. To be honest.
