Stadler, an Associate Professor of English, at Haverford College weighs in with the following on twitter (with reference to this):
I was really alarmed to see many people I follow so uncritical about something coming from Leiter, a troll with tenure who wields enormous power to keep philosophy the fortress of white maleness it is.
Let's review:
1. It is "trolling" to expose Judith Butler's shameful defense of a colleague accused of sexual harassment or misconduct under Title IX; Stadler hurls this epithet even after CHE has confirmed that the letter was, as I said, real.
2. For good measure, Prof. Stadler adds in a fact-free smear of my mentorship of students; more than half of those now in philosophy departments are either women, or are racial or ethnic minorities, or sometimes both. So much for my securing "the fortress of white maleness."
Honorable members of the English profession should denounce these irresponsible and unprofessional smears.
