      28. It's quite possible that Champion's extortion threat was criminal. If so, he should be charged with a crime & punished.

      29. Economically, Champion can & should be punished with a boycott (in an attention economy that includes ignoring his blog & podcast).

      30. In terms of psychology, Champion needs to be told that he has a personality disorder and needs help.

      31. Lots of great points being made in response to this Champion discussion. I'll try to RT them, but worth looking at TL

      32. @kmsheps point: one crucial context is misogyny in publishing (and wider culture) that allowed Champion to flourish for so long.

      33. Champion's slimy attack on Gould & his tweets on Porochista Khakpour were far from his first displays of misogyny.

      34. How was Champion allowed to get away with so much for so long? Answer is not in psychology but sure in structural misogyny.

      35. I'm not sure of the exact working structures that allowed Champion to flourish. Would make for a good investigative reporting piece.

      36. Let's face it: narcissistic, entitled male behavior isn't exactly punished in publishing. For many, it's a career path.

      37. Want to re-iterate that these twitter essays not meant to be final words but conversations. I'm learning a lot from responses.

      38. What are the structures & systems that allow abusive men to thrive and not get challenged (or, if they need it, treatment)?

          39. To talk about structures & systems is not to excuse Champion, but to try to see his abusiveness as part of larger patterns.

          40. But it is a problem that Champion (and other abusive men) use claim of mental illness to deflect their responsibility for abuse.

          @HeerJeet It's the benefit of the doubt they receive from like-minded individuals that others don't get. Or fear of retribution.
