the claim that the 'grievance studies hoax' is a 'coordinated attack from the right' makes me wonder what other 'coordinated attacks from the right' were nothing of the sort?
it was literally a conspiracy intended to humiliate its targets. just because lindsay, pluckrose, and boghosian are moderates doesn't change the nature of what they did. maybe it had to be done but it was very much a dick move.

it's not intended to humilate it's targets any more than a sting operation against a drug cartel is intended to humilate them. It's intended to expose corruption, and thus it's not a dick move.

being necessary and justified (and I do think it was justified) does not prevent something from being a dick move. it was hostile and deceitful.

it's as hostile and deceitful as any whistleblowing, no more, no less. Misbehavior needs to be exposed.
