This whole debacle is another, albeit painful, reminder of the persistent criticism, hostility, abuse, and threats that academics in this field endure. I've changed degrees and even universities to pursue this area, it's isolating, it's unpopular, it's challenging, and highly confronting at times. But it's incredibly damn important, which is why I'm never backing down and why I'm never going away. I'm so thankful for people such as yourself, who have the courage and dedication to keep on going, despite the seemingly relentless uphill battle.
On a more humorous note, I got serious hate just from commenting on your post, I don't use Twitter often but all of a sudden I had a lot of notifications and was really surprised, I thought "Who do all of these idiots belong to? I don't recognise any of them and I don't have enough Twitter followers to have accrued this many idiots... I've caught them from someone else, an infestation of hatelice from someone far more accomplished than me" 🤓
Keep up your amazing work Craig, and thank you so much for making a positive difference in society, despite swimming against the tide in an ocean of twits.
