Hahahaha hahahaha! Oh James, Phil Torres wanting to sit in on his class and write a piece critical of him is now a threat!! Come on man!! Debate him, I mean, I thought you people welcomed a good Battle of Ideas? Now you're running from him like snowflakes??

You say he's made multiple accounts to harass and obsess over Boghossian and that he's made creepy references about his children.
-
He likes to freak him out by referencing his little girl, yes. He thinks it's funny that this scares him.https://twitter.com/Torres65623394/status/968640608146423808 …

I didn't even know Peter had an adopted Asian daughter, but yes, I will agree Phil crossed a line when he brought that up and he should apologize for it. That being said, I agree with his primary criticism minus the bad inappropriate joke. Peter is a snowflake.
-
That's fine! Agree with primary criticism of Boghossian. Criticise away. Write 100 articles on subject. Call him snowflake. Just don't try to force contact despite blocks, reference his children, threaten to turn up at his work & laugh when he's freaked out enough to call police
-
It seems we can agree we can think someone is a terrible person & say so w/out stalking them & trying to force them to listen to it & enjoying making them fear for the safety of their children? I disagree with this assessment of Peter, obv, but I'd say same for someone I despise
-
I'm communicating with Phil, apparently they were once friends and had a fallout, the references Phil made to Boghossian's personal life were not due to stalking but due to them having a close relationship before then.
-
That's how he knows he has an Asian daughter, yes. Does not excuse telling people publicly that they can really freak him out by mentioning her, does it? I'm going to leave this conversation now. You either see the problem or you don't.
-
I see the problem, he shouldn't have said that, apparently his point was that Boghossian has engaged in that sort of personal attack with others before so he wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. Idk if that's true, and it's wrong regardless.

I would be afraid if someone was making up several accounts purely to pester me, referencing my children, obsessing about me & how bad I am repeatedly for months on social media & threatening to turn up at my place of work. Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe its snowflaky. Stop it anyway
-
If what you're saying is true, then I'd agree it is inappropriate, however I'm exercising some skepticism here since I haven't seen any evidence of what you're talking about.

And to be quite frank with you, if there is a legal action in progress and the conversation are private, you have absolutely no right to ask for them. What you could say is that you won't believe either side until more information are available.
-
The moment they bring their conversations and screenshots to Twitter it stops being private and it is fair game for anyone to chime in. Boghossian refusing to engage a critic reeks of snowflake behavior, that's my claim.
-
So if you don't engage all your critics, even those who seem to manifest borderline behaviors, you reek of snowflake behavior ?
-
Considering Phil has written extensively about it, has a prior relationship with Boghossian and knows his views very well, I would say he's not just 'any critic'
-
Precisely! This isn't an avoidance of critics! It's an avoidance of Phil, personally because of the prior relationship.

Helen you haven't submitted anything, you are just making some very serious accusations that Phil has stalked Boghossian but I see no screenshots...
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
