    It has both reduced in volume but got increasingly deranged and vitriolic. I have two committed online stalkers now, was associated with a #HowFascismWorks hashtag yesterday & someone told me today that I won't care about an unethical surgeon coz he's homophobic & I like that.https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1054883200525230081 …

    I’ve noticed empirical scholars dumping on the Sokal Squared authors too. Not sure what the motivation is (?) but seems like it’s a function of valuing the social club of academia above scholarship integrity https://twitter.com/conceptualjames/status/1054869585462214656?s=21 …

        I am a gay person from Australia and I don't see any evidence that you are homophobic or at all a fascist. The hysteria of the response to the hoax highlights the need to have a hoax in the first place.

        No I think it is , if SS^2 is a revealing journalistic hoax then it is quite good. But if you claim it is a disciplined academic investigation then you would be marked down as "Needs major corrections". Technically, the poor ethical stance could have got you fried.

        Also, you seem to divide the world into functional epistemology and everyone else. So, for example, if I take a constructivist view on anything, you seem to be implying that I don't use evidence or if I do it's not constructivist. No true Scotsman fallacy.

        Since I am a scientist and you are not, take this as being less passive aggressive and more genuinely annoyed.

        u were part of the convo. She has zero understanding of the complex dynamics of US politics if she thinks increasing epistemic rigor in gender studies will shift a single voter away from Trump. i should have listened to Dr. @SimonDeDeo on the complexity of human irrationalitypic.twitter.com/2jZvXiOhMg

        hei, @HPluckrose spoke to me first. she is BFnutz if she thinks #Sokalsquared is going to shift a single vote. its irrational. and why should i be muted? sam harris sticks up for Bannon, @EricRWeinstein sticks up for Alex Jones. some ppl are too thin-skinned to accept crits.

        Some people don’t understand. Others are determined to misunderstand. Their preferred POV depends on misunderstanding your position.

        Likewise I was called a Nazi for my criticism of the hoax, so the tribalism is going both ways.
