This is a common and infuriating confusion. People who put forth arguments on how scholarship should work are not declaring themselves supreme ruler of the world who has the right to make it happen. We all have precisely the same entitlement to decide how things should be.https://twitter.com/Servalan73Ruth/status/1053349986396766208 …

Telling someone they don't have the right to decide how things should be when they are making an argument for how things should be is bewildering. Do they believe the arguer thinks they have the right to decide things for everyone? Or do they think they shouldn't make arguments?

Whatever someone is arguing about how things should be approached, don't tell them they don't have the right to decide how things should be approached. We all have that right. We have no right to force *others* to approach it that way. We have to make our arguments win the day.

I think this usually means "You should respect all ways of knowing." Well, I don't. I respect your right to argue for all ways of knowing while disagreeing with the arguments you're making & not telling you that you're not entitled to decide we should respect all ways of knowing.

And this is why I need to go off Twitter. I have zero patience right now. I am tired out by all this and worried about a very sick family member. I need a break. No more checking notifications until at least next week.
