      Maybe block guys like that instead of liking their tweets. Maybe post "tradcaths begone" if they start to show up in numbers like that. Nothing drastic.

      To elaborate, 1) if my tweet about how science needs to be better started to attract wannabe-Inquisitors who just hate science, I would feel an urge to make my purpose clear and repudiate theirs, especially if I had a sizeable following. Kinda like this!pic.twitter.com/XM3rxzFPFK

      2) the context of the original post and its associated thread made the incursion of said wannabe-Inquisitora somewhat predictable, so I would've chosen to screenshot rather than QT to reduce the chances of that happeningpic.twitter.com/f93PBHBvI2

      i ask nothing of people who follow me except that they are polite to others in my comments. this is the proper role of a host. i certainly disagree with much of what people who follow me say, think, and even do. and what do you expect me to do about it?

      do you think an internet robot will change them by harangues? do you imagine this will work generally? shall i patrol everyone's comments everywhere and scour the world for heretics and people who don't know what fork to use for salad?

      in fact to the extent i am likely to influence anyone it is by welcoming all who are polite to others and letting them mingle with others with whom they disagree i recommend you meditate on this good dayhttps://medium.com/@jesse.singal/planet-of-cops-50889004904d …

      These choices of verbiage, and with whom to not cause conflict, have meaning. For example, are a sarcastic "heretic" and "person with whom I disagree" the strongest descriptors you can gin up for guys like this?pic.twitter.com/jAI7YLoxSn

      No? Then have the self-respect, moral clarity and plain goddamned balls to say so. That's what I "expect."

      P.S. Freddie DeBoer's self-imposed internet exile following his false rape accusation against Malcolm Harris is one of the strongest extant justifications of both "cancel culture's" necessity and efficaciousness, and I will read any whinging of his about it in that light.

          When I was a younger man, I was a big believer, as you are, in the Wild West approach to comment moderation, in mingling with people I disagreed with, even "heretics" in communities free of top-down interference. I soon learned how this inherently welcomed extremism--

          --Because these communities' lack of a drawn line of acceptable opinion drew in all the people who had been expelled from places that had them--some unjustly, maybe, but the thing about Codes of Conduct is that they're really good at expelling really unacceptable conduct too.

          I found myself in a sea of malevolent people without viable recourse for changing the community or administration interested in doing so. I hoped to illustrate the folly of this mindset, the kum-ba-yah story that says a hands-off approach will make the truth win out.

          You call yourself the host. Well, act like it, 'cause there are people shitting on your living room rug and it's really weird that you won't clean it up.
