Language uses such as extreme, slacktivst, outrage culture , misplaced anger, etc is in itself inflammatory. Not saying they cannot use it. Just saying the rest of us can disagree and voice that disagreement.

I agree with you completely. And I support 100% your right to voice that disagreement, Emily. I thought that your comments at the panel were great. My only point in all of this has been that I'm glad the panel occurred, and I hope it leads to more dialogue, not less.

And, again, I wish that the makeup of the panel had been different. I certainly hope that the makeup of future panels is different.

But have you spoken to THEM about this,
@profwmsmith? You've come to various scholars on "this side" repeatedly to push back on narratives and urge compassion for these scholars, but are you doing that work with them as well?4 replies 1 retweet 22 likes -

Problem is: there’s no nice way to tell people to stop annoying others. You’re not doing anyone a favour by fan dancing around the problem. But I do wish the aggrieved parties would exhibit some measure of tact. I really do.

this would be an appropriate wish if it weren’t for the fact that certain people involved have received rape and death threats thanks to the actions of others, others who subsequently either minimised or dismissed those threats.

There are three audiences here: 1. Reasonable people, willing to move on from A-S. 2. Irritated people, who have used the term all their professional lives and resent being yelled at. 3. Dangerous white power types who make threats.

sorry but this particular conversation started long before “A-S” became public, and over the last 5 years your “3” have received a LOT of support from people within the discipline presenting themselves as your “1”.

You are allowing the 3s to run this little show. Basic negotiation theory.

Responding and fighting against white supremacists isn’t letting them run the show. The widespread ignoring of them as a problem by “reasonable” people has. And btw, massive change hasn’t been achieved in history through being polite and having “dialogue”.
