This Amiel flap makes me wonder: Is this what columnists do now? Instead of provoking thought or debate, they provoke mass anger?
@abuchanterrell Yes, much of column writing now consists of trolling. And since Amiel's piece has been widely read, she's won.

@heerjeet That's a really interesting argument. Why do you think her column constitutes trolling? How did she win? Clicks? Shares? -
@abuchanterrell Her column got a huge # of clicks and is the most read piece in Maclean's this month. - Show replies

@HeerJeet Amiel a troll? Jeet, you're blowing empty thought bubbles. You've never agreed with anything she ever wrote@abuchanterrell -
@wodekszemberg@abuchanterrell Not true. I shared her anti-communism in the 1980s. She's written better, more cogent pieces than this one. - Show replies
