A propos this earlier abusive outburst directed at feminist philosopher Holly Lawford-Smith (Melbourne), we now have this from Keyvan Shafiei:
I assume the actual suggestion was to apologize for directing the "profane language" at another human being in a dehumanizing way. It probably doesn't help that this graduate student is being encouraged by faculty at Georgetown, including Rebecca "suck my giant queer cock" Kukla:
The e-mail in question, from the "alleged" philosopher of law, was this one:
Dear Keyvan Shafiei,
I am very concerned to read, on Leiter Reports and elsewhere, that you have published comments referring to Professor Holly Lawford-Smith as 'a bigoted piece of shit' and a 'vile fucking human being'.
This is a disgraceful way to refer to another person, never mind a member of a profession you hope to enter. It shames you.
I think it would be in your interest to apologize to Professor Lawford-Smith, fully and in public.
Yours truly
Professor of the Philosophy of Law
Balliol College, Oxford OX1 3BJ
Some of the adults in the Georgetown Philosophy Department might want to try to minimize the reputational damage being caused by the misconduct of a vocal minority in their program.
(Thanks to various people who have written to me about Keyvan Shafiei.)
