Not defensive, Andrew, more frustrated at how quickly the direction of the discussion turned toward who is doing the telling rather than the events themselves. I deliberately mentioned that the website seemed to have a conservative slant in my first post, because I kind of knew it would come up and I was trying to avoid this being the focus by pre-empting it, I suppose. Didn't work, obviously. Of course this is the kind of 'crazy censorious lefty' story that conservatives love. I think it's a real shame that the conservative media seem to have a monopoly on covering this stuff, because annoyingly sometimes they're right. I'm sorry to have to be in agreement with a typical 'Quillette' story, whatever that entails, but they appeared to be the only place covering it.
Cross-posted with Nemo. That will be interesting.
