You don't appear to be a bot, but you have been programmed, just the same. If all you offer is insults, ad hominems, and straw men, I will block you.

The fractal nature of the fraud surrounding the Jason Arday story is truly remarkable. It never ends.

[Jason Manning @sociologyWV]

As someone who wants to keep his academic job until the mortgage is paid off, let me state in no uncertain terms that I stand with the fraud/plagiarist/fabulist+ community.

They did come for Cofnas.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

At this point, everyone kind of knows that any black individual of genuine competence and intellectual acuity will recognize and forthrightly expose the fraudulence in Arday’s narrative and the deeper intellectual bankruptcy of DEI itself.

So this entire episode has inadvertently become a natural public litmus test of real ability because it is precisely those who are capable who stand to suffer most from the racial quotas that DEI enforces.

It's uncomfortable to say so but it's true.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

This is nuts.

Talarico is so extreme that he’s glad to side with cold-blooded murderers.

[Jonatan Pallesen @jonatanpallesen]

The treatment of Cofnas makes a mockery of the concept of academic freedom.

While at Ghent, Cofnas was attacked with a thrown bottle, which gave him a concussion.

In response to this, the university did nothing, even though the perpetrator was identified and was a student at Ghent University, and the incident was on video. The police also had the identity of the perpetrator, but there was no prosecution or anything else.

While he was at Cambridge, they conducted a 1.5-year-long investigation and then exonerated him right before his contract was up, so that he was excluded for essentially his entire time there.

And now he has been suspended by Ghent University for the sin of publishing an article pointing out the obvious plagiarism in the work of Jason Arday.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

It's because they believe their ideology is a sacred science that can't be wrong and that the Friend-Enemy Distinction is the mechanism for enforcing that. Everything is ok for the friends and nothing is okay for the enemies. Marcuse's Liberating Tolerance is the packaging.

[Kellie-Jay Keen @ThePosieParker]

Why is this pervert anywhere near university students or women or men or allowed out?

@galtontheroller She used ChatGPT to write her inaugural speech. It was full of fabricated quotes.

[Wesley Yang @wesyang]

The reason we never hear a view shared by 80 percent of the public in any newspaper is an industry-wide conspiracy to suppress those views in favor of an astroturfed pseudo-consensus

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Weird how the people outraged by the "hounding" of Jason Arday delight in and encourage the actual hounding of the person who exposed him.

Arday was not fired from his job or denied employment opportunities. On the contrary, he was given and retained jobs for which he was not qualified and was rightly criticised for lying.

Cofnas, on the other hand, is actually being denied jobs and fired from them for bring Arday's lying to light.

[Peter Boghossian @peterboghossian]

If you're black, you should be able to obtain your credentials through fraud, pathologically lie about your accomplishments, and steal others intellectual labor. Anyone who points out this fraud should be investigated for racism, have their livelihood threatened, and publicly shamed.

[Matt Calkins @Matt_Calkins]

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

The Jason Arday scandal is so excruciatingly embarrassing for the left that their only recourse is to try to purge the guy who exposed it.

Full Maoist struggle session

[Kellie-Jay Keen @ThePosieParker]

This man is the victim of an actual witch hunt, unlike the fantasist fraudster he exposed.

[Wesley Yang @wesyang]

Ghent University acts to ensure that academic fraud by certain favored classes of persons will never be exposed going forward

[Peter Boghossian @peterboghossian]

I am alone with a white person

I am alone with a black person

[Nathan Cofnas @nathancofnas]

I was just suspended by Ghent University. They will almost certainly fire me.

The decision was made by rector Petra De Sutter, a former leader of the Green Party.
