When different conversation norms conflict, which norms will you support regarding public (e.g. Twitter, blog, or MSM) conversation?
An academic should use academic norms but perhaps when an angry non-academic speaks to them they might then attempt traditional society norms (since these are more inclusive of different norms).

academic: "lets attempt neutral inquiry" enlightenment: "we are all equally free to inquire" social justice: "we must make sure that any inquiry alienates power hierarchies by favouring autoethnography, etc" traditional society: "nice day outside isn't it?"

The social justice idea that "even if inquiry is neutral it often isn't evenly distributed because of power hierarchies" makes sense. But entirely disallowing inquiry unless you are a member of a particular group reduces the diversity of inquirers in an even more extreme manner.
