Just received this about the @verybadwizards podcast:
"They go at you pretty hard as a person. Not that I think you care, but I think you have kids? You might not want to listen to that one with your kids around. It’s the whole first segment of their most recent episode."
Weak.

Helen, their criticisms are no worse than some of the more mild criticisms you've already received. The feedback James was quoting makes it out to be some off-the-hook personal attack. It is not this and I'm sure you can make up your own mind. Listen to it, or don't, but please..
-
Oh, I'm sure I've received much worse. I'm a giant gelatinous mound of lard, apparently, want to genocide trans people, am a psychopath etc. Not starting a war tho. Advising ignoring it.

I was more shocked by Paul because he's normally so balanced and careful imo.
-
I think this is being greatly exaggerated.
-
I don't think it should have any more attention. They didn't read the Areo piece, missed the point entirely and made it all about our motivations which is essentially bullying a poor, vulnerable field which presumably isn't doing any harm to society at all.

I am just sick of it, Jules. Obviously, we knew people would do this. We even wrote one of our papers anticipating it. But that doesn't mean we have to think it's not that bad coz they're only mildly saying we're bad faith bullies while not having read anything we said.
-
Yes, in that sense, the critique itself falls short. And if you've heard all the same sort of critique before and are sick of it, I can certainly understand that. My point is that the feedback James quoted is inaccurate, and that fights should not start on the basis of it.
-
I don't know what to say if you don't see that gunning for our motivations is a personal attack. Maybe you've just got jaded to a point where only vitriolic abuse seems to you like an attack on a person. Work a year on something coz you think it matters & be told smug & bad faith

The section on you guys isn't very long. They paint you all as gleefully attacking "people" because of some kind of vendetta. Anyone who didn't know you would think you're vile, petty and hateful imo. Which is really a shame given how backwards it is. Despicable.
