@Brazillian The people who call for cancellation absolutely have the freedom to do so, and if anyone tries to take it from them, I will defend them. And when criticizing their behavior, I apply the same standard to myself: you won't find me urging terminations for op-eds I disagree with! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
This is an excellent illustration of people objecting to cancellation, not disagreement. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Most criticism was not aimed at those who merely argued that publishing the oped was unwise. It was aimed at those who prosecuted a pressure campaign to terminate people on the other side of the argument, partly by weaponizing the false claim that they endangered colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org

@MerkinMuffley5 @MonicaBaumann I don't think it's about views so much as comportment toward others and tolerance/intolerance. If someone else holds different views do you coexist and look for common ground, or do you stigmatize and attack and urge others to shun them? — PolitiTweet.org

@froomkin @jessesingal The author of a carefully researched and reported, factually accurate article about a topic of broad interest and importance that caused him to be subject to a sustained campaign of vicious harassment and verifiably false attacks on his character? Yes, he's that guy. — PolitiTweet.org

@BAlbertBen @NGrossman81 I don't quite understand this question but I don't think it's what anyone is talking about — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JeffreyASachs @NGrossman81 Yes, there are multiple reasons for self-censorship, social media has intensified the fear of looking dumb in front of peers, and all of the factors are problems, because they detract from learning and constructive civic acculturation — PolitiTweet.org

A hilarious answer I did not expect. — PolitiTweet.org
COB @cs_obrn_
@collblick @OLITHEN @conor64 Exactly, one time I caught people plugging mini-fridges into the lamp.

@NGrossman81 But in fact we're talking about on topic comments about matters of broad civic controversy — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@NGrossman81 Then looking at the results we talk about self-censorship and others come along with straw men like *what if they're just refraining from saying they don't like their mother's dress? Hmmm? That's not a problem!* — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
No technology as simple fails as regularly as the motel room lamp that has electrical outlets in the base to plug your device charger into. I'm shocked when it *does* work. Why are they so often broken even when the lamp works? — PolitiTweet.org

@zsitter @gnrosenberg Yes, I've attended many PPE seminars where debate in the contest of small group discussions exposed me to ideas and perspectives I wouldn't have considered otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@gnrosenberg I am ready to concede that debate is not likely to be an effective tactic in your classroom. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@gnrosenberg No, it isn't. You made an erroneous assumption that caused you to misinterpret the claim, and it turns out we apparently agree: debate is one of many useful pedagogical tools. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@gnrosenberg What research can you cite for the proposition that debate is not "an effective method" of pedagogy? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@gnrosenberg "an effective method" does not imply "comparatively superior." I don't think it's my comprehension skills that need work. Your erroneous reading confused things. Debate and constructive disagreement are useful tools, not the only tools. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@emdunnum @gnrosenberg Sigh. The suggestion is not that professors should arbitrarily debate students. — PolitiTweet.org

@gnrosenberg What do you take my prior assumptions to be here, other than that debate does have pedagogical value? — PolitiTweet.org

@gnrosenberg I directed a basic primer to a person who purported to be totally uninformed on the subject. I'm not inclined to spend lots of time link hunting for a stranger who began engaging with false insults and lards arguments with vague jargon. — PolitiTweet.org

@gnrosenberg I have never written a piece about debate as a pedagogical tool but if you're totally unfamiliar with the case for it here are some easy beginner level lectures https://t.co/HBy8N0XDhF — PolitiTweet.org
