...courtesy of Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, astrophysicist. Part of the difficulty with the culture of deception and dissembling that now thrives in certain quarters of the academy is that one can't even discuss what's really going on and whether and when it is justifiable without provoking irrational abuse. (It is of course sometimes justifiable, but not for the mindless reasons usually given.)
UPDATE: Among the philosophers to endorse "fuck off" (through liking or retweeting) as a response to an argument are Shen-yi Liao (Puget Sound) and the "logician" Richard Zach (Calgary). Class acts, they are, but I'm sure everyone will duly note their position.
