When I told him it’s hardly fair to do that since she could hardly defend herself since she wasn’t in the group and that he was calling for a dogpile, he essentially attempted to gaslight me for calling him out.

Also that guy who said that medievalists study this stuff to be monkish and not to be political? I say this as someone who likes my solitude and studying: no. My work is political. Everything is political.

Those monks making manuscripts 1000 years ago? They were political too. Nothing is created in a vacuum.

Oh and said guy who gaslit me? Continues to make his fb page a platform for him and his white friends to be racist. His “cooties” comment is based on the fact that people have blocked him for being friends with a fascist.

Yeah it’s real sad that you lost friends because you doubled down on another friendship with a terrible person.

I'm not saying his name on here because he has a history of searching his name, screencapping tweets, and then posting it on his facebook without blurring names.
