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.

Just got another note about it: "Jesus. It's an unbridled personal attack on you. These people are obsessed with dumping on you." What's up,

I’ve listened to the segment and it’s not an unbridled personal attack. They offered what I consider to be fair criticism of the hoax but not in a mean-spirited way.

Don’t know what else to say. It was obvious that there’s a tad of bad blood between you and the hosts but I honestly didn’t get a sense that their comments were vile or despicable.

It is quite damning to say they are fair to say our motivations are bad: that we gleefully attacked *people*, are smug and acting in bad faith. Its not like they said we mean well but they disagree. If that really were the kind of people we are, I'd want nothing to do with us.

I understand what you mean, but in fairness, they don’t know you. They don’t *know* that you mean well. They gave their opinion, and yes, they’re biased, but it’s entirely possible that they did not spend much time reading your Areo piece or your tweets about the project.

So they shouldn't have said we were badly motivated. I honestly don't care much coz they don't know us and had done zero research so no-one who has read our stuff will take them seriously. You know us tho so I hope you didn't really mean that their assessment of us was fair.

No, as I explained, I was referring to the fact that they brought up some fair points about a control group, etc. I did not mean to imply in any way that I thought their criticism of you, James, and Peter as people were fair.
