A facebook comment sums up perfectly what normal people in the philosophy profession are up against these days

This individual is responding to two of the "usual suspects" in these debates, but the individuals matter less than the type:

You people are living caricatures -- the puritan outrage, the over-the-top sanctimony, moralizing, and preaching, the hilariously rapid shift from feigned neutrality to meanness and aggression (didn't take long for that mask to come off) -- statements like "I have publicly made criticisms. Those criticisms are correct...seriously, piss off" -- It would all be rather comic if you weren't professional teachers, passing on this deranged attitude to impressionable people. But that's a tale as old as time, I guess.
