I know this will be unpopular, but really the whole evangelical, "us against them for eternity" (where them can be anyone u disagree w/) & blind indignation makes a well-defined segment of "open science" Twitter really problematic. And frankly quite tiring.

I highly doubt science needs saviors. Not half as much as it needs decent humanbeings doing their jobs in a decent way. The rest is self-serving, grandstanding performance. But twitter seems to have a disproportionate representation of them.

I wish I knew more of the context here. Is it more about a study on IQ and race and/or gender? Or more about a study on power-posing? Because these rough categories of studies seem to be treated vastly differently by the same kind of crowds for whatever reason. Hmm.

I guess that's somewhere in the middle.
And thank you for giving some context! I find with some issues, due to who I follow/follows me, I suffer from context collapse because I genuinely never see their (= whoever's) tweets.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
What amazes me is the incredibly short fuse between "research that I think is crappy" and "author is terrible".

I think I have a very thick skin w/ these things (so bullies, self-righteous rants, lessons, misinterpretations, WHO IS REALLY BEHIND ALL OF IT etc BS leave me unfazed), but then I remember others probably really feel hurt.

Probably but then again noone needs to be hurt for “tone” in these discussions to matter. Sometimes it inflicts enough damage just by alienating others.

Also creates a very boring science with only thick-skinned people in it, etc etc etc.

Thank you for nuancing this, you are both right. And it's true, I know people (we all know people) who are literally afraid to speak on Twitter.
