Her Wikipedia page is pretty long, she was a public figure long before this controversy, even ignoring the fact that simply being a billionaire invites public scrutiny.
- AlbertCory 3y agoNonetheless, no one was calling out her plagiarism before they got their knickers in a twist over Claudine Gay. Pure meanness and revenge. Are they going to shadow his kids at school, too?
- enterprise_cog 3y agoIt’s simple cause and effect. Not sure why it’s so hard for you to grasp.
- AlbertCory 3y agoI grasp it perfectly. It's you who can't grasp bullying: "Oppose us, and we'll ruin you. And your family."
- dekhn 3y agoI just want to check: you are reading Ackman's tweets, right?
- AlbertCory 3y agoI just want to check: what point are you attempting to make?
- enterprise_cog 3y agoThat Ackerman was the one who started with “oppose us and we’ll destroy you” by trying to doxx pro Palestinian protestors and going on a crusade to discredit universities. Turnabout is fair play.
- AlbertCory 3y agoIt isn't "turnabout", it's "infantile striking out at everybody within sight." As for the "pro Palestinian protestors", they signed their names, did they not? Did they expect all would be forgiven when they try to get jobs?
- enterprise_cog 3y agoIt literally is exactly that. They are using the same tactics on him that he used on them. Sorry if you don’t like that, but that’s the reality.
- dekhn 3y agoOK, so my criticism of Ackman is actually "infantile striking out at everybody within sight". He made a series of escalating tweets that were truly baby-like, attacking BI, and saying he was gonna tell their daddy (Mathias Dopfner, CEO of Axel Springer, which owns BI) and when BI concluded they had done nothing wrong (the article was not motivated, and was based in fact) he just escalated further (threatening a lawsuit). I have some sympathy for Ackman, but the methods by which he is achieving his goals undermine his own arguments.
- AlbertCory 3y ago.. and you've still shown zero connection between his wife and Gay. Just one guy you don't like.
- dekhn 3y agoI think if you read what he says on Twitter it demonstrates that he's gone so far beyond norms that it's not unreasonable to expect that people are going to target his family (non-violently).
- AlbertCory 3y agoI love how all these attacks are presented as if no one is actually doing them -- like it's God himself visiting vengeance on him. Some impersonal force, in other words. Try being grown-up enough (or maybe "big enough") to stick with the people who've actually offended you.
