        @SamHarrisOrg Calling argument or dissent "harassment" or "abuse" is pretty much the new standard go-to defensive line for many.

        @SamHarrisOrg That's because most people, when their beliefs are challenged, become threatened, untethered and go bat-shit crazy.

        @SamHarrisOrg It seems the conflict is in defining "femaleness" which won't happen, nor "maleness" They must be observed. It's up to X-bar

        @SamHarrisOrg I would argue they do know the difference, But use it as a last ditch effort when they are without a compelling retort.

        @SamHarrisOrg I do wonder how many know exactly what they're doing: some combination of trolling, baiting, instigating, or self-promotion

        @alwayswatching It uses a bit of sarcasm, I'm surprised you don't appreciate any of it... No/0/zero remotely valid points what so ever???

        @JackCSLewis That sort of rhetoric can be in good fun when engaging w/ art, less so when denouncing (& outright lying about) a human being.

        @SamHarrisOrg The bad intentions of those subjecting you to this today seemed too obvious to claim that they didn't "know the difference".
