Two lesbian philosophers--Holly Lawford-Smith and Louise Moody--are removed from the group by Rebecca Kukla (Georgetown) after merely mentioning philosopher Kathleen Stock (Sussex).
UPDATE: Two different readers sent along the unhinged reaction of Keyvan Shefiei, another charming PhD student self-destructing on social media:
ADDENDUM: An amazing response to being called out for their unhinged behavior. Among the philosophers sympathizing with Shalfiei, who apparently think it's fine to call another philosopher a "piece of shit" and a "vile fucking human," are Daniel Silvermint (Connecticut), Fiona Schick (CUNY), Amy Marvin (Oregon), Audrey Yap (Victoria), Joshua Habgood-Coote (Bristol), and Nathaneal Smith (Rochester), among others.
AND ANOTHER: You can't make this stuff up: a person who calls another philosopher a "piece of shit" and a"vile fucking human" is calling me "abusive" for calling attention to their abusive behavior. The only good news is that this kind of misconduct is still a fringe phenomenon, but we can't allow it to become normalized.
