      .@HeerJeet 1/ Another false accusation. One of the writers of the @NewRepublic piece is white; and I am not quick to dismiss concerns.

      .@HeerJeet 2/ Yet again I'm comparing speciousness of reasoning as given in @NewRepublic. The Nazis used specious reasoning for same purpose

      Let's just say i don't think contemporary anti-racism is usefully compared to Nazism on any level & leave it at that.

      .@HeerJeet No, let's just say you have wilfully evaded the issue, and you have made false accusations as part of that. I'm disgusted.

      There's 2 separate issues: 1) free speech issue 2) sacralization of art issue. I agree with you on #1 but not on #2.

      .@HeerJeet 1/ I wouldn't mind were you to withdraw the rather vicious false accusations. Wouldn't you say #FactsMatter, #TruthMatters?

      Impulse to sacralize art makes you quick to dismiss concerns about racism by African-American critics & to compare them to Nazis.

      .@HeerJeet What in my previous answer did you miss? https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/845835390212812803 … Fallacy of ambiguity in rhetoric, I'm not a fan of.

      I wouldn't have written tweets if I saw any acknowledgement from you as to why some people are unhappy with paintings.

      .@HeerJeet You never even asked me about that issue. Instead, you tried various evasions, & then the off-the-wall accusation. Unimpressive.

      What evasion? I think my position is clear. And given your analogy to Nazi Germany, didn't seem you took concerns seriously.

          .@HeerJeet 1/ Go back and re-read my tweets to you. Deal with them. 2/ That is a nonsense evasion. One issue does not deck the other issue
