Yes, yet another sad moment the „spot the mistake“ game seems a level too high 
here...

If one wants to see a silver lining in this whole incident, it’s that it helped 
make the deep
contempt for certain minorities surface that’ve been lingering in nettime’s 
viscera.

Therefore I also do think It’s an important question Angela posed.

Brian, you criticised AB for flaws in his ‚political theory‘, yes, and thanks 
for that - 
But is cocking one’s head and patiently explaining everything to a verbally 
very grown-up abuser, 
At the cost of women and POC, really the right way to change sth?

I don’t think so. With his „anti-filter-bubble“ request, AB has very skilfully 
lulled everyone
Into believing they are anti-democratic when not accepting his kind of speech.
But what he has actually done by this, is extending his very own wellness-zone.
