      Signing the letter doesn't mean affirming Rick MacArthur's stewardship of Harper's, which I'm on record as saying has been a disaster. The MacArthur family should let go of Harper's & it should be taken over by a better, non-union busting, non-profit.https://twitter.com/juliacarriew/status/1280561619496431616 …

      this position was not particularly well articulated when you signed the letter of a union buster that incoherently complained about the collective action of rank and file journalists to hold their bosses accountable for decisions that affect both them and their communities

      what does it mean then, Jeet? i truly do not understand what anyone who signed it actually *wants*, except to not be unpopular among people who believe that trans women are women and that there is no useful debate to be had over race science or the existence of racism

      Um, I'm pretty sure I've dunked on Pinker for his Epstein connections & Rowling for her Terf-dom. I don't think the principles in the letter are incompatible with criticizing these particular figures harshly.

          Maybe reading it would help. It is a relatively short text. https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ …

          Do you think that those figures believed that criticizing them harshly was consistent with the principles of the letter? If they didn't believe that, how do you reconcile the difference between your interpretation and their interpretation?

          what exactly are the principles of a “defend free speech” letter that was signed by someone who tried to get professors fired because they supported the cause of palestine.

          I think it’s great that the people signing the letter have had to spend all day defending or denying their associations with other people who signed the letter, showing that the letter itself has no substance or merits
