34/ For example, Steve Barnes is an African American SF author , but he doesn't put himself in an "Afro SF" ghetto where he's measured by lower standards; he writes mainstream SF and hangs with Niven, Pournelle, and other studs.

35/ I didn't attack him for not conforming to my hard SF sensibilities; I attacked him for attacking OTHER AUTHORS for not conforming to HIS hard SF sensibilities (when, in fact, they were correct and he was not). https://twitter.com/Crimson_Urn/status/1167446627688361984 …

36/ > you write about fucking "uplifted" dogs in your hard sf yes, in fact I do. If you want a list of white papers on the genetic components of intelligence, tools for doing genetic manipulation, etc., I can dig through my notes files for you

37/ > I don't understand this is the rhetorical flaw of "argument from incredulity", yes? Do you actually want an answer, or do you want to leave it as a bad argument? https://twitter.com/riffylow/status/1167447151821152256 …

@Swordsfall1 was attacking other authors for doing science wrong. No, I will NOT be quiet and let him attack others for doing bad science when he is the one who is wrong.https://twitter.com/d20sapphire/status/1167448256290447360 …Show this thread -

40/ Teleology is obviously wrong if we're talking about natural selection, but teleology is absolutely correct if we're talking not about a blind watchmaker, but about a LITERAL WATCHMAKER. When I write code or cut a part at the lathe my TARGET matters. https://twitter.com/Crimson_Urn/status/1167450686784774145 …

41/ > There are ... papers ... on "uplift," ... ultimately conclude that it's cost prohibitive and pointless. Really? Could you link some of these? Because my research has not turned up any such things. Also how does a scientific paper conclude that something is "pointless"?

42/ I was naively under the impression @crimson_urn, that scientific papers re genetic engineering usually prove that a given technique works or does not work, and were not in the habit of declaring that things were "pointless".

43/ Wait, I - a part time author with 5,000 followers who did a $18,000 kickstarter, - am "punching down" when I criticize someone with 7,000 followers who did a $120,000 kickstarter? Can you explain this up/down business? Am confuse. https://twitter.com/MisterFawx/status/1167451063168847872 …

44/ > you’re targeting a genre based around Black creators and their stories, which is racism. As you know, racism is discrimination plus power / privilege, and as
@Swordsfall1 has far more readers and far more money from his kickstarter, so actually HE is being racist to ME.Show this thread -
45/ I didn't bash the writer; I bashed one statement he made. Specifically, the one where her punched down at other authors for doing science wrong. (And where he was actually the one who was wrong). https://twitter.com/jkercado/status/1167445782401826816 …

47/ About a half dozen of these drive by SJWs (a) tweet at me, (b) then immediately block me. Very odd. Low T. Sad.

49/ One thing I love is all the SJWs who tell me that "this is a bad look" or "you're making things worse for yourself" or "do you realize what you just said!?" Church ladies assume that I care about them, their followers, opinions of "polite society", or my "permanent record"
