@bendreyfuss @MotherJones Oh Ben—this is classy. You missed some spots, though (see below).

Don't do this to people, man, even when—as here—a) I'm not embarrassed about a word I said, and b) you're upset that your mom said publicly she reads my feed.

This makes you look shittier than I suspect you are.
@bendreyfuss @MotherJones More things Ben missed while trying to strangle his integrity as a journalist are below. The "annoyed" reference is Ben complaining about me using a graphic in a thread that had come from Mother Jones. I added a credit to the thread once Ben wrote me via the Mother Jones account.
@bendreyfuss @MotherJones FWIW, @bendreyfuss, I still don't have anything against you. I teach many postmodernists your age—I have since I began teaching at universities 12 years ago—and know what I wrote you cut deep, which is why you're doing this. One day you'll stop using irony as a security blanket.
@bendreyfuss @MotherJones (PS: Open invite—seriously—to get dinner in New Hampshire sometime. You've got me very very wrong, and you'd see it straightaway. Ask Aaron Gell, Virginia Heffernan, or other journalists who've sat down with me—rather than publishing my DMs without my permission—if you doubt it.)
@bendreyfuss @MotherJones (PPS: I'm not blocked by you now, and I don't recall ever being blocked by you, but if you see the need to do so now, feel free. By my reckoning we literally haven't spoken for over a year and a half, until today.)
