      I think it's a mistake to think that it was just one tweet that caused this (just as it is a mistake to think it was just the Cotton op ed that got Bennet into trouble).

      What evidence do you have for believing that it was more than one tweet--for which he did a needless gunpoint-apology, of course?

      Again, I'm not comfortable with turning people who are engaged in an office dispute and attempting a reconciliation into proxies for a culture war. I think there's something sick in that.

      I've seen enough office disputes to know that the culture war framing that is sometimes used for them are often only a small part of larger story. Have you ever worked in an office?

      An "office dispute" which one party decided to handle by airing it in a way that instigated a massive public bash-fest against the other. Gotcha.

      Again, given the limited reporting done on this, the longer history at play & the seeming desire of the parties for some sort of reconciliation, I don't feel like as confident as you are in turning this into a proxy for culture war. We shouldn't treat people like puppets

      You're attempting a rhetorical sleight of hand there. "We" aren't treating these people like puppets, we're saying, explicitly, that they are bad actors.

      Jeet: your side (as it were) has been forever encouraging people to view virtually all interactions between individuals from different demographics as part of a culture-war drama and to see individuals as cogs in "systems of oppression." So I find your complaint quite ironic.

      I think thinking of things in terms of "sides" (or teams) is one of the problems here! For myself, I'll note that I've actively tried in my writing to avoid identitarian social analysis positing homogenous groups -- although I'm sure I've slipped now and then.

          That's funny. If you've read anything by Cathy you'd know she is one of the few writers genuinely able to reason beyond "sides" or tribal logic.
