7/ same energy as a conservative saying in 1975 "I proudly announce at work that I'm heterosexual, and if the gays don't want to announce their sexuality in the workplace, then that has nothing to do with an unwelcome environment; they're just cowards"https://twitter.com/paologerbaudo/status/1458042037928878082 …

8/ the classic framing is, of course "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."

9/ anyway, "Thanks God I don't have mad or disturbing ideas that I'd be ashamed to share [ and therefore I have no need for a culture of tolerance ]" definitely wins the Voltaire award for the day. Truly, academics like you are an inspiration to free thinkers everywhere!

14/ Are you a pure prescriptivist on this topic, telling people that they're wrong to "retreat" (when they've been forced out), or are you a descriptivist with any interest in finding out why they do so? >>>https://twitter.com/paologerbaudo/status/1458063189229379593 …

15/ you're a sociologist and sociology is "The study of human social behavior, especially the study of the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society." What do your studies tell you is the cause of this "retreat" ?

16/ progressives don't want non-progressives to "exit" because that denies them the ability to condescend to them, to keep pulling a "Lucy" and pretend that maybe you can kick the football this time, to lord their power over them https://twitter.com/razibkhan/status/1458066823287607303 …
