      When @aetiology @gorskon attack straw men & turn off tweet replies, it suggests they lack confidence in their convictions. The question is simple: Is a #lableak plausible? Or is it a “debunked” “conspiracy theory,” as it was described by the media in 2020?https://twitter.com/htown_Joe/status/1400598827015589890 …

      The #lableaktheory isn’t “becoming” a conspiracy theory. It was dismissed as such in 2020 and it’s making a comeback b/c (many say) it was rejected too quickly. But most such folks are not saying a #lableak is probable or even equally likely; they’re saying it’s plausible. /1 https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1400497291866279945 …

      What @aetiology said. Please listen to her. When people limit who can comment or reply to statements, it suggests they may have reasons to do so. @Twitter allowed us to limit replies to followers, people tagged, or no one. https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/11/twitter-now-lets-everyone-limit-replies-to-their-tweets/ … Why? Networked abuse campaigns

      Threats can be reported and Twitter will take action; replies can be ignored. Wanting to be able to speak your mind without hearing opposing arguments is not an admirable trait, no matter the reason. If someone turns off replies, they open themselves up to justified criticism.

      "Twitter will take action". Are you new here? Any idea how many hundreds of these I have in my inbox? The privilege of some people, I swear. I don't owe *anyone* my time at the expense of my mental health.pic.twitter.com/o65tT257p7

      Of course you don’t own anyone a reply. Most blue checks don’t reply. You definitely should do what is best for your mental health. But if I think you’re wrong to turn off replies, I’ll criticize you. Criticism isn’t abuse. It’s not harassment. Feel free to ignore it.

      You realize that disallowing replies is also a way to keep additional misinformation off of the thread, correct? Especially when I expect 90% or more of the replies to be of that type, given the replies to other posts over the past 72 hours? /1

      /2 Clearly people know you can respond, as you did. Criticism can't be completely stopped. But I can disallow additional garbage from polluting *my post* on the topic. I think you're being intellectually dishonest here in equating "no replies" w/ "no criticism" & am done here.

      And I stand by my criticism. We can be civil and agree to disagree.

      And I stand by my view, developed from this thread, that you're a pompous with a taste for sea lioning. Block me if you don't like to see that.

          Hey Alex, I said good night, but in light of this, I’d urge you to reconsider precisely who is being “unkind” and handing out “abuse” here. I’ve certainly tried to be civil. Sounds to me like Dr. Gorski doesn’t like criticism, but is glad to call names. It’s not a good look.pic.twitter.com/zj2fav85he
