      So if a columnist has one odious opinion, every single piece of work thereafter must be forever shunned and ignored? I guess every columnist who cites the exile must also be exiled, then? Am I to be exiled, now? Gonna get pretty lonely on that ice floe after a while.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/994650884922642432 …

      Sue Ann Levy suggested that Barack Obama is a secret Muslim. She's employed by a major Canadian newspaper. Jonathan Kay cites her with approval to mock the idea that white privilege is a problem. https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/994626360126586880 …

      Maybe we should just rename the Intellectual Dark Web: "Everybody who is no longer on the Twitter-approved ice floe."

      So you're on the pro-shun side. Please elaborate: should we also never respond to her on Twitter? Can we talk to her in person, or should we keep our eyes averted in public?

      I guess I'm tainted by default for suggesting that it might be ok to link to something she wrote unrelated to the original sin. Quick, shun and block me before they get you too!

      Flip this around: we have to sit around and be cool with a wide-eyed conspiracy racist just because There's Only Second Acts in the punditry world?

      1) I honestly don't understand this tweet. And 2) I have no particular need to defend SAL or her conspiracy theories. I'm pointing out that trying to tar someone for merely linking to something SAL wrote, totally unrelated to that conspiracy, is sorta nuts.

      Replying to @jengerson @Justin_Ling @vmochama

      I think the point of the initial tweet was that her having a job at a major paper despite the Obama conspiracy stuff is evidence of white privilege, which she’s arguing isn’t a thing.

      Exactly. I thought the point was fairly obvious but only Paul seems to have picked it up.

          It reads to me that you're trying to smear Kay as an anti-Muslim bigot by second-degree extension because he linked to a totally unrelated article by SAL. If you're just trying to highlight the mediocrity of white privilege of well, then, do carry on, sir.pic.twitter.com/emZ0YgilV6

          guys, are we putting racists on a prison island or what?
