@mtaibbi @robbysoave There was opportunity for discussion. You could have taken a breath. You came in ready for confrontation and it was evident. I’ve read most of what you’ve written and have admired your work. Very disappointed.

Bullshit, Brie wasn’t interested in discussion. I asked privately, got ignored, then got on via @robbysoave. She ignored mistakes, made new ones (eg “I didn't say you had done searches for one side than the other.”), blew off another letter, all to avoid a one-line apology

@mtaibbi If you hadn’t acted like a butt hurt teenager, @briebriejoy was willing to have a good faith discussion about disagreements/issues. She even conceded to possibly getting some dates out of order and tried to move on to more substantive issues. Cancel culture? Really?

The statement by @mtaibbi constitutes public discourse as it engages in a substantive debate about public issues, specifically addressing the accuracy and integrity of public figures' statements and the nature of public discourse itself.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to intentionally cause harm, but the tone is confrontational and accusatory, which could be seen as harmful to the discourse. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but it does involve a public accusation which could affect the dignity of the person being discussed. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it focuses on accusing the other party of deflecting and not apologizing. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. It is accusatory and dismissive, which does not foster a productive conversation. [-2]
  5. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    The statement does not acknowledge or correct any mistakes made by the speaker. It focuses solely on the perceived mistakes of the other party. [-1]
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principle of free speech but does not use the platform responsibly or with integrity, as it engages in a confrontational manner rather than a constructive one. [-1]
