And I have to wonder, is the fear that you think he’d retaliate or that you’d burn a bridge? Because if it’s former I understand, as an ECR, to an extent. But if it’s the latter, why do you want this sort of person as a friend or mentor?

There have been ppl I look up to whom I found out stuff about later that made me upset but in the long run, do I want to maintain a connection with someone who holds terrible views, has done bad things and not accounted for them/owned up/done better? Nope.

ohhh... in that case, I blocked him. So I could unblock him and say something... maybe I will.

I suspect he will immediately block you. He is not open to engaging at this stage.

Well, I’ve got the opportunity to get in one good tweet before I’m blocked. Or to read his tweets and report back, if that would be helpful.

Don’t need to hear what he says BUT it’s good to screenshot stuff if you can.

Hmm interesting: a single ‘’minority student’ tweeted in his support but they have no bio and no followers and no tweets. Ha ha.pic.twitter.com/B9RBfTBZt5
