That may be true now, sure. Again - I know nothing and this thing seems off (given it, I'm inclined to accept possibility of bad behaviour I can't see). But here (https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/969624985714216962?s=20 …), it sounds like you accepted the accusation of harassment (a crime) on testimony.

She's accepting his own admission of harassment, no?

The disagreement is whether it counts as harassment or not. I don't know if it can be prosecuted in the US. My daughter successfully prosecuted someone who persistently stalked her online & turned up at her work despite her being very clear this was unwanted & frightening.

But prosecutable or not, is it reasonable to call a persistent attempt to contact someone who has asked you to stop, blocked you, sought legal protection & threatened to call the police which went on for months & included threats to sit in front row of class 'harassment?' Yes.

I think this would be immediately clear if the target was a woman. I remember Sargon getting accused of harassment for going to one of Sarkeesian's talks after having been very critical of her online. I don't think that counts as harassment, myself, but this certainly does.

I think Sargon has the sort of fans that go after people image witch hunty fashion, so that may be the difference. But it seems a bit like one group wants to call people snowflake but find clever and interesting ways to avoid criticism themselves.

Quite possibly but Phil is also in witchhunty circles. We can be against witch hunting consistently Depends what we mean by 'snowflake'. This is less about accepting criticism & more about trying to prohibit certain speech, particularly in universities, because words do harm.

I will put it another way, I feel people find ways to make things that are very similar seem dissimilar and I think that's happening here. But you know more of the detail of this, but from the outside, this snapshot looks pretty bad.

Could you be a bit more specific? I still don't know what you mean?

Perhaps PT got sensible responses when he first tried to criticise and that's why these repeated attempts to engage by him are seen as stalking, maybe they are as extreme as you say. But just from this snapshot it looks like they want an excuse not to respond and engage.

You'd need to look into the history. He wrote a thing criticising the conceptual penis hoax which was quite well received & addressed but then he simply wouldn't leave them alone. Eventually got himself blocked from all accounts, obsessed online, threatened to turn up at work
