I’d have guessed it’s not outrage or indignation but instead feeling 1) sorry for how frustrating it must be to deal with Torres and dishonest criticism in general, and 2) gratitude for pushing back against it.
That was my reaction. Also I had assumed that John had probably sent this post to the Bulletin and that it would help him get the desired retraction/appology if this post had more karma, so I was tempted to upvote the post to support with that.
(But despite the temptation I originally abstained from voting due to not wanting to promote more Torres-related content, then strong-downvoted after reading Neel’s comment and seeing another front-page post responding to (IMO problematic) journalism (Rob Wiblin’s post responding to Matt Yglesias’ re SBF and risk neutrality) that also wasn’t the sort of content I want to fill up the Forum.)
