Academics' Mobbing of a Young Scholar Must be Denounced - Quillette https://quillette.com/2018/12/07/academics-mobbing-of-a-young-scholar-must-be-denounced/ … via @QuilletteM
'But it's just one scholar being mobbed! Who cares?' Yes, it's almost always just one at a time. One this week, one next week.... That's how mobbing works. The long-term effect of these mobbings on academic integrity and viewpoint diversity are what's at stake here.

lol. 'mobbing'. This is a large group of qualified people passing judgement on the works of a less qualified person. Don't publish your work if you can't handle criticism. Using the word 'mob' a lot doesn't add to the quality of the argument.

Not a single one of the signatories seem to know the first thing about the relevant research. A mob with no relevant expertise that's demanding that someone be fired isn't the same as 'criticism'. See the difference, bro?
