I don't know if you have been following the recent Swinborne/SCP controversy. It seems to be off the AF radar. The self-righteous condemnation goes well beyond "being called a prick". I don't expect AF members to have much sympathy for Swinborne, but he has clearly been treated poorly. The moral-preening of his accusers, to me, highlights an unwillingness to expose the intellectual poverty of their "enlightened" positions. In cases such as these when someone "calls someone out", he or she or zhe or xyr starts with the presumption that his, hers, or zir or xyr opinion is so obviously right that it requires no defense.
