      I have yet another person demanding that I listen to them arguing (badly) against things I never said or admit I don't accept criticism. If you want someone to listen to your disagreement or criticism of their ideas, make sure it is among the best being offered them.

      This simply allows you an easy out. Seems most "offers" your cohort accepts are from those most unskilled and easy to combat, which amounts to hiding in your heavily-bleached tower. Similar to being a pro-boxer who only fights punching-bags.

      That is not what I am arguing for. We argue for the opposite. See below I'm not going to engage "You're just racist & sexist" when I could be addressing serious & thoughtful criticisms. Areo just published one criticising James & my argument against identity politics.pic.twitter.com/vRzxl4skz2

      I just read the article. I am not suggesting that you are *wrong* for not engaging in certain conversations. What I am suggesting is that you are doing the equivalent of "putting the rap artist on TV to discuss Racism versus a professor of ethnology", or the like.

      But why are you suggesting this when we have explicitly said the opposite? We'll engage with serious criticisms and not silly ones. We invited the whole gender studies department to the last talk we all did together.

      I was referring to those engaged with online, specifically (from what I have read). But with regards to the talk(s), prof. Boghossian was equivocal in saying that people were there to "listen" to those talking, in regards to videos posted.

      No. We invited all four of them individually. When they ignored or refused, we issued a general invitation to academics in the field. You'll be thinking of the heckler Peter had to remind that she was not part of the conversation on another occasion.

          She did turn out to be a gender scholar, actually, but he had no idea who she was at the time and if she'd wanted to be involved she could have gone through the right channels to be included.

          And I immediately think of the Right's, "ID to vote" and "that shouldn't be too much to ask". I don't think there is an easy solution to know "what someone knows" or how valid their claims are on the face of things, difficult question, though I do think *charity* is needed.

          Fair enough. From the talk with the ex-"Google programmer".
