If you can't see how the dog-humping paper is ridiculous, you're part of the problem.https://twitter.com/briandavidearp/status/1056627434211213314 …

... truth’) before I could evaluate whether the claim had any merit, and that, as is generally the case, merely knowing the punchline of a paper written in bad faith without carefully reading it is not enough for me to conclude in advance its argument cannot have had any value.

Yes, it's a different objection. Surely you see that? Methods to content. Of course, people can disagree on either or both but you gave no indication of disagreement with our assessment of the fields before, just how we went about doing it.

We've spent a lot of time talking to people who jumped from one objection to another and it makes for neverending and pointless conversations. There's an awful lot of resistance of the idea that it can be OK to critique these fields.I'm now wary of trying to talk to ppl who do it

Well I can certainly understand that. I see that you’ve been bombarded with many scattered tweets that are very accusatory and defensive etc & I can empathize w how exhausting it must be to keep fending all that off.

I wrote initial thoughts some time ago & haven’t said anything more, haven’t harassed u all or spoken ill. Tried2 engage w u in positive way first time. Today James tweeted me out of blue w weird disingenuous-seeming questions, snide comments etc. I didn’t come at u for a debate

We just thought we'd laid the mistaken belief that we were making comparative claims to rest so James queried your pinned tweet still saying it. I think. Was that it?
-
And I said right away that I just hadn’t gotten around to unpinning it. I hadn’t thought much about all this since then. I was just trying to take James’s questions as they came.
-
You don't have to unpin it. I'm sorry if you felt jumped on. We are just sick of being repeatedly misunderstood having tried so hard to be clear.

Yes, sure but you've changed from whether the methods of our study were sound to epistemology and the worth of the fields we were criticising. You'll recognise that those are different objections which require different conversations.
