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'll engage a serious criticism when I hear one. I've been waiting a few weeks. And I don't particularly care what some dude on Twitter or a podcast considers a serious criticism.

They do have to have read our write up of what we were actually doing, yes, and ideally some of the papers. There's no point arguing with people who are trying to argue against things we didn't do or claim.

Or who are completely uninformed. "Maybe it's the good parts of Mein Kampf." Maybe go read the effing thing before saying something this stupid and lazy, in public. We told you which chapter it is. Takes about 20 minutes.

Mein Kampf truly is an awfully written book. Not only in subject matter, but the meandering, disorganized style suggests a badly disorganized mind.

Yes, we know. It was painful.

I can only imagine. The real struggle in Mein Kampf is slogging through the prose. I assume you all had to comb through it for adequate passages.
