      Indeed. Even as a fellow privileged white dude like me, @BretStephensNYT wouldn't last even a half hour if he were to have to handle the lesser abuse I take from someone like Mike Adams lying about me asks insinuating that I'm a pedophile. He is a special snowflake.https://twitter.com/tarahaelle/status/1166208987689291776 …

      I’d love to see @BretStephensNYT, @jonathanweisman and other fragile men like them try being a woman on the Internet. They wouldn’t last 10 minutes. And that’s being very generous. pic.twitter.com/GKnyYC6FH7

      I say this realizing that women have it so much worse. My point is, @BretStephensNYT couldn't even handle the level of abuse a male quackbuster gets., much less what women handle.

      What @BretStephensNYT's reaction to @davekarpf's joke reminds me of is antivaxers. I've had antivaxers attempt to cause trouble for me at work by emailing my boss to complain about me saying mean things about them on the blog more times than I can remember dating back to 2005.

      Make no mistake. What @BretStephensNYT did was no different than what antivaxers have been doing to me, only worse. Why worse? He's a @nytopinion columnist, and the prestige and privilege of that position make what he did so much worse than some random antivaxer emailing my dean.

      Make no mistake, by cc'ing the provost, @BretStephensNYT was intentionally trying to make @davekarpf suffer at work for making a joke about him on Twitter. Think about how petty a man had to be to do something as vindictive as that.

      I mean, nothing against @davekarpf, but he's just some unknown assistant professor on the Internet, while @BretStephensNYT is an opinion writer for the frikkin' @nytopinion page. If Stephens is so thin-skinned, maybe a platform at @nytimes is not for him. Ditto social media.

      In any event, I'm sure we'll be seeing yet another whiny, self-pitying piece from @BretStephensNYT about how mean people were to him on Twitter for trying to get an academic fired or disciplined for having made a joke about him on Twitter.

      Again, although I'm sure @BretStephensNYT will deny that was his intent, I know better. I've been on the receiving end of exactly the same behavior too many times. If his intent was not to get @davekarpf disciplined or at least "talked to" by his provost, he wouldn't have cc'ed.

      It appears that Stephens shut down his account, either temporarily or permanently. I can't wait for his next column lamenting how mean people on Twitter hounded him into closing his account because he had tried to get an academic fired for making a joke.https://twitter.com/Sou_HotWhopper/status/1166317872882171905 …

      I mean, what are the chances that he'll actually take a moment, reflect on what happened, and come to the realization that he shouldn't be such a bully punching down like that? Sadly, probably slim and none.

          People need to be very aware of his hypocrisy too. He's been a louse -er loud - voice attacking students, rape victims, taking the piss out of the safe space concept, insisting Freezepeach is of the utmost importance. Except... When he's insulted?? It HURTS it's so hypocritical.
