So... we should collectively ignore the racist pattern in favour of the championing pattern? How is that not you asking for good deeds to offset the bad?https://twitter.com/ferrifrigida/status/1359612944766566400 …

No. I hugely appreciate you calling out my racist language. I'm saying that you found a pattern of racism that ignores an awful lot of what I've written.

The pattern isn't offset or ameliorated by what else you've written. I also didn't accuse you of malice. The point of the exercise wasn't to assess your entire history of reviewing *your* sake, or to pad it out with comforting asides - it was to prove a specific issue existed.

I get that you're feeling uncomfortable and defensive right now. I've been there, even! And those are feelings you have the right to work through. But from experience, I'm going to say that trying to work through them on public, in twitter, by 'but but but-ing' is a bad idea.

Then why did you start this on Twitter? Why is all this unfolding on Twitter? What am I supposed to do if not answer you?

I never @-ed you; I shared a blog post on social media. This entire conversation was happening largely adjacent to you. I understand the impulse to respond, but that was your decision - other people are allowed to talk on twitter without it necessitating your input.

What I meant, though, is that you don't have to process your feelings here in real time. You can step away, yell in a friend's DMs, actually have a think about it and then, if you want, come back - or not. But don't act like you're being forced to be online right now.

Adjacent to me. You read a dozen of my reviews and wrote a 5k-word blog post that criticized me as a reviewer, changing my Google results forevermore. How is that adjacent to me and not about me? As you suggest, I'll drop out. Thank you for pointing out some of my weaknesses.

To borrow a cliche, talking about you is not the same as talking to you. I purposefully didn't tag you in so you *wouldn't* feel obliged to respond on social media, and also so you wouldn't automatically get swamped with any replies/retweets that came my way. And, again -

- if your primary concern here is still that I've changed your Google results and not that you've been racist? Then you need to sit and think about this more.
