Ben, how come you to forget yourself my friend? This cruelty directly contradicts what you yourself taught me about using only the minimal force necessary to rebut arguments. I’m man enough to admit that I learned that wisdom from you. Now follow your teaching & make this right.https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1045500134606307328 …

Eric, agree to disagree here. She stated that it’s every woman’s worst nightmare to see Lindsey Graham yelling. That’s absurd and cruel in and of itself. And her uncle’s behavior was the definition of cruelty to women. Obviously, no one says she’s responsible for it.
First, thanks for engaging civilly. Second, I understand the problems in what she said as well as the context of family history. But you weren’t there yet in the escalation. I didn’t say be gentle. Your proportionality force principle says it well & better than I can. Be well.

Fair, and I’ll definitely consider your point.

By lacking the courage to stand up to a piece of garbage like Ben Shapiro saying vile things to Maria Shriver based on guilt by association is to disqualify yourself as a credible intellectual leader of a movement of even a modicum of respect.

I didn’t realize this was a parody account. But when an *anonymous* troll tells you to
#growaspine after you just backed down a friend from real life...even I have to admit that’s comedy gold! Thanks for the laugh but I now have to mute your comedy stylings for a bit. Last word? -

I commend the both of you for presenting sound reasonable discourse in the face of the mob. Unfortunately with the onslaught of hate and the rejection of basic civil liberties (innocence until proven guilty, privacy, etc) I fear that this kind of discourse will soon dissapear.

This has echoes of Ezra Klein
#Voxsplaining that "kill white men" doesn't really mean "kill white men". I doubt Shriver meant "worst nightmare" to actually mean "worst nightmare". It is just an idiom. Still, by putting her objection in sex-specific terms, Shriver 1/ -
opened the door to an identity-based analysis of Graham's comment, which then opened the door to Ben's hypocrisy-exposing retort. /fin
