I think the main lesson from the Lerna situation is: you gotta be REAL POLITE when objecting to fascism. Any sign of rudeness will be used against you, by fascists and by your well-meaning allies. Fight for your rights like it's a round of croquet before lunch.

I actually can’t tell given the follow up tweet, because all things considered Fowler’s post was, from what I recall, of measured tone, but maybe I’m not remembering right, or maybe I’m so radicalized that normal people’s anger seems like a good time to me.

I think Fowler's tone was very measured in the Correct Way of seeming very distant and logical and Not Mad. And this polite approach can have the best results, because god forbid we make our oppressors or allies uncomfortable.
