      @pitopos I've never heard of Paul until now, and I can't do a proper check of his account since he deleted it, but just that one tweet that Travis posted made me go YIKES. The rabbit hole you're looking for will open by the keyword "Human Biodiversity"pic.twitter.com/41Vj55MV6r

      I've been friend of Paul's for several years, and I will make the assertion that he's not racist. If I thought he were, I wouldn't entertain a continued friendship with him. I will gladly put up with him being obnoxious (to me, at least) but not racist.

      I will also assert that he can be his own worst enemy in trusting that "facts speak for themselves". I've spoken to him specifically about that tweet, because it leans far too heavily either on context which most people don't have, or some amount of charity.

      I know that his issue is with his perception of Google's censorship. He has ranted to me ad nauseum about it. He's made it very clear to me that he has zero interest in the actual search query, and 100% interest in illustrating Google's manipulation of search results.

      FWIW, I don't think you're wrong to be disturbed by the tweet. It's ambiguous, and unnecessarily so. Better examples of search manipulation which don't show Google doing something actually *good* were probably available, and Paul's basically an idiot for choosing that one.

      I also share @runT1ME's concern about offering any sort of defense to a tweet like that, and putting my own credibility on the line in the process. But as I have chosen to remain friends with Paul, I also can't let it go unanswered.

      Thank you for sharing, Jon, and for willing to take the risk to speak openly in a tense situation. Personally I'm happy to accept your explanation. I've seen that you're really making an effort to mend this divide, and imo this is the perfect kind of response. What I respect -

      the most about how you've handled this - and what I criticised about your defence of John - is that you've acknowledged the potential harm that could come from a person who genuinely holds such views. And at least for me, that's what's been missing from people defending LC

      This should have been acknowledged by LC in... - 2016 when nazis compiled a list of jewish sounding names on the list of signatories. - 2017 when money was received by someone later found out to be into HBD and slavery apologia - 2018 when twitter trolls harassed Sonia.

      The list goes on. I commiserate with travis on this front. Whether he wants a legitimate apology at this point is my question, with the outcome being understandable in either case. I think you can support John and still support his need to publicly address and apologize for this.

      I do, both. I can say that I want it for the healing of the community (that's the only thing that affects me directly, as my privilege basically shields me from any other grievance). But I know it's also necessary for those not in my position, who are genuinely aggrieved.

          Yes! But I also think that for someone to apologize, there needs to be a door open that they can walk through to apologize that keeps some of the ego and self-respect intact. Otherwise, we end up where we are, where both sides' heels are firmly dug into both sides.

          It depends on the ultimate motive: do you want retribution, or rehabilitation? At this point, it's unclear what anyone wants. I know you want rehabilitation, but between the deplatforming and the market-baiting and the accusations, I'm not sure what anyone else is after.
