They're aggressively doubling down, too. Lots of chatter on their TL about how every critic is a violent racist troll and every librarian must support the article unconditionally.

Replying to @St_Rev
TBH the original article wasn't so bad. It explicitly presented itself as unfounded speculation, and the "Don't bother commenting just to tell me I'm wrong" is the same policy I follow in my own Web log - which is a personal Web log and not formal academic writing. But...

I actually did an edit to show this, but decided it would probably earn me a ban. I encourage you to try it yourself, though! pic.twitter.com/YgfO2IRckJShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

I'm not saying she shouldn't have posted it, LJ shouldn't have linked to it, or it should be censored. Quite the opposite, I think everyone should read it. Carefully. And think about it. And then act, thoughtfully, according to their understanding.
