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 -

First, I talked to Dan Franke after the session. I told him that I found the discussion productive but that I wished the panel had been composed of more diverse voices. 2/

Last night, as
@ISASaxonists has mentioned, I commented on a tweet of his, expressing my desire that both sides engage in real dialogue and criticizing his characterization of this debate as “endless war.”2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Second, I don’t think I’ve been pushing back much on this thread. Emily and I were at the same session, and she has characterized it accurately. I initially posted to push back against the idea that the session should not have occurred at all. 4/

Third, I would not ask for compassion for scholars on the other side. I would just ask for dialogue with them.

Why do we need to have dialogue with the people attacking us? Blocking us? They don’t actually care about dialogue and it shouldn’t be in the people they have actually attacked to make nice.
