Pre Quillette, Claire Lehmann attacked and destroyed a male friend who criticised feminism by accusing him of misogyny. Quillette then went on to defend James Damore for exactly the same thing.
A sober, objective reading leaves one with the impression that it was Claire and others who immediately became viciously personal, while Peter remained outwardly calm, avoided ad Hominem responses, and offered cogent responses to all of their challenges.
Claire's accusations not only lacked substance; they made her appear emotional and damaged her credibility.
Yikes. Makes Claire look like an amoral predator
Worse, as I think the target was me & the forum itself. Peter was just a way to achieve that.
Fascinating thread.

So do you not have a relationship with Claire anymore?
P.S. this seems like it would've been a great forum to be a part off. I recognize people in there that I now regularly enjoy reading/listening to.
No. And I've been effectively blacklisted as a writer.
It was - still is - a great forum!
Sorry to hear that, that sucks.
The forum is still active?
It is. It's quiet at the moment but will be open soon after my podcast launch. :)
Looking forward to that
Ah, the good old days!
We were the tip of the culture war spear!
So Quillette needed backers with deep pockets and Quillette has a consistent pro sraeli stance. I think I detect a connection
