As much as you have a right to explore before making an opinion, there are many responses (rightfully) that come from people who have very strong (but also reasonable) opinions about Jordan. This is what a forum like twitter brings. You can tweet and people can make strong resp.

The only reason I purchased the book was cause I was curious about the psychologal content of it and to get a better understanding of what kind of person he is I haven't even stated my opinion on him other than saying he was intelligent and interesting ( which I still stand by )

Now I totally get it when people respond strongly because they think his psych knowledge is trash and that I should have ordered another psych book instead. That's reasonable But to shit on me for just attempting to do my research on this controversial figure is beyond me

I think its because people interpreted your excitement for the book as an endorsement for Jordan (which may or may not be true). It’s important to understand the optics of your tweets to your audience - a blunder that I make from time to time

You also said you had already done your research by watching videos. Hard not to take that as you approve of Jordan.

Leffen, I literally said ''Bought this book because of my interest in psychology and cause I've heard good things about it. I've seen numerous videos/lectures and he seems like a very interesting and intelligent person that I could learn a thing or two from''

Yes I've seen a good amount of videos of his lectures, but that doesn't mean I've done my full research or that I've approved of him. The only conclusion I've come to so far is that I'm interested in his pshyc work and that he's a smart person

If I personally were to pick up a highly controversial book and tweet how much you like the author and look forward to reading the book, id do basic research on what his critics say before. You gotta realize your platform and the context here.
