That Gawker article reeks of a lot of hypocrisy and bullshit. The article could be summarized as "boo-hoo to my 'enemies', none of their problems are actually serious, the left doesn't incessantly excommunicate and scalp it's own ranks for no reason, that Muslim guy who lost his job at the newspaper for poking fun was straight and male so it's OK to discriminate against him, nothing to see here folks".
That guy Jonathan Chait (probably) is a whiner, but he makes a lot of salient observations that anybody on the other side of the spectrum could see immediately. It disgusts me that a movement cannibalizes itself to gain cred and becomes radical past the point of parody in the meantime.
The dingus on Gawker is wrong to criticize Chait anyway about "the nature of criticism" since he has done nothing but pathologically avoid peer criticism his entire life.
