If you read my original string of tweets, you will see that a good proportion of them are devoted to saying the things about which I agree with the authors and the aspects of their hoax I saw as relatively good potential evidence of a special problem in the target fields

Assuming they haven't charitably assessed these fields given the just jaw-dropping amount of objective work (which was so rigorous, they were actually praised by many reviewers in the fields) they've put into studying them just doesn't seem super charitable to me.

What is so infuriating is that we did put so many hours into this every week for a year, especially James, and then spent more hours trying to explain it & putting everything out there and since then, we've been fielding constant quick, hot & uninformed takes on the significance

We didn't engage properly. We didn't do enough. Methodology was shoddy. We want to shut down fields, stop scholarship into social justice issues. It's hard to describe how upsetting that is. I didn't anticipate feeling that way. But when you've spent a year & put so much work in.

You don't take my original string of tweets to be based on what you actually did? I tried really hard to be fair and not jump to some strong conclusion. I may not have fully understood your intentions, but I didn't harp on having bad intentions. A lot of people obviously really

... like ur project and think it is great, even definitive. I think even the majority of snarky things James says in response to what I write have gotten positive responses. So u seem to have a lot of support from many people. I, too, gave positive feedback. And raised questions

... as well, that were actually primarily based on issues in the fields I know and work in, where I was saying that, hey, I'm not convinced this is a special problem w gender studies b/c a lot of bad stuff happens in my fields too.
