>I'm happy to hear any refutations that aren't character assassinations for daring to publish with controversial figures. I responded to this statement earlier by saying I thought it was inappropriate, then my comment was both upvoted and flagged. So I'm going to respond again at greater length: I think statements like the above are inappropriate for a venue like HN, since they trivialize complex arguments by pre-biasing them to sound like any possible disagreement is actually about some minor personnel controversy. At this point I don't exactly know what you're looking for someone to refute, but I assure you that whatever it is: this is a bad-faith way to make your request.
