I agree this is clearly a terrible argument and I’d hope my proposition for distributed decision making would never be dragged into such an argumentative mess. Throwaway151, I’m happy to have a call to discuss the many doubts and questions you have?
Please answer this question: if Torres had spent the last several years calling you a white supremacist, a eugenicist, a racist, and a plagiarist in articles in popular media and on twitter, and misquoted and misrepresented things you had said to make you look as bad as possible, would you still work with him?
It sounds as though he did this to you, and you’re still upset about it—which is entirely reasonable, but it doesn’t relate to what you’re asking. Obviously, no-one expects you to work with Emile, but I think it’s not acceptable to attack other people for doing so—or worse, for not doing so, assuming the worst, and not bothering to investigate.
