At the risk of being a literalist, the commitment of progressive commentators to this vivid description of what people who disagree with them are doing seems to hint towards what they think the consequences of disagreement should be.

At the heart of all this hoo-haa re: ABC vs Government is an article by @albericie. It is now creeping into folklore it contained errors. Can someone show me where these errors were. I can't find them, and suspect a second job is being done on her.
@seaningle Great article @seaningle. As sad as the Russian reinstatement is, the relative silence on team Sky/Brit cycling and Mo Farah/Salazar from the British press also highlights the issue.
Horrible people promoting horrible ideas should be shunned, ridiculed, ignored. This isn't illiberal thinking, it's the immune system response to an attack. Don't engage with cancer to hear what it has to say.
Stop treating the destruction of your democracy like an academic conversation, or simply clickbait. It's a war, and you're aiding the enemy by giving them a platform.
On this rest day, I want to talk about Froome. Promise not to discuss Salbutamol or stage 19 at the Giro or any recent TDF wins.
I want to talk about what the hell happened in 2011
Also I know this is all circumstantial. No need to @ me to remind me. But still: It's messed up
"If the sport and its administrative leaders are serious about transparency, now is the time to act"
I'm amazed @SSbike had the life force to write this reasoned essay. I certainly do not. Here he quite clearly lays out the crisis in the sport we love.

Time has come to shut down a lame toothless @wada_ama Sad news that WADA doesn't appeal to CAS in a case where there are plenty of evidence both for and against Froome + precedence for handing out suspensions in similar cases #needforindependence#BSalert https://t.co/siymTuXQPO
Many people saying it’s now open season on salbutamol, that the salbutamol policy is in tatters. The ramifications are bigger than that - I guarantee that a dog pharmacology study & 1500 page document positive tests is possible for every single banned drug. Testing is in tatters
We'll know more in 24-hours but there is now no question that if Chris Froome races the Tour de France the entire event will be a total circus overshadowed by the vanity of one team and rider.
