      Rachel, for goodness sake. Sometimes I get hundreds of tweets from people angry with me abt causes I don't care about - radfems, anarcho-syndicalists, MRAs, & they generate others if I just mute so I go on a mass blocking spree. I didn't know you. You went with the rest.

          Mass blocking has now occurred and I feel much better.

          You haven't specified why you blocked us in that tweet though. We aren't abusive trolls, we are social scientists linking you to research articles.

          I didn't want to hear any more about statistics but I do not owe you an explanation of why I chose not to engage with you. You owe no-one any for who you decide to engage with, mute or block either. You are committing the fallacy of demanding to be heard.https://areomagazine.com/2018/04/07/freedom-of-speech-and-the-fallacy-of-demanding-to-be-heard/ …

          I 100% agree it is your right to block social scientists who tweet research at you. I disagree that this action carries no implications for how we should think of your openness to science and evidence.

          But as you have now put on the record that you do not care about statistics - the bedrock of social science - I actually think we agree on your position!

          I still have people DMing, btw, even after mass blocking. That's why I locked my account. Even if you feel blocking should only happen when someone is very abusive, you still do not need to tweet my name, my publication & encourage people to jump on me or the magazine. Not nice.
