You know that famous twitter post when someone mansplained an author her own book?

I had a heated discussion about a topic that has been my professional center of interest for two decades now and who I often hold lectures about,etc.

The guy basically claimed I was totally wrong by citing a single study - which he grosly misinterpreted and which showed that he was missing a lot of basic knowledge about the topic. (Which is okay,but then don’t tell others they are wrong. I actually just jumped into the discussion to defend someone else) So…a definition of an armchair general.

Funny thing is: I was literally sitting in the lecture of the professor who is the main author of this study and who I already had an deal to publish a follow up study together with him as coauthors.

So… I literally asked him after the lecture what he would say. …and quoted that in my post. (We get along quite well)

The response? “Sometimes a science is not about facts but is about believe and not classical knowledge. And you are definitely a fat fuck who hopefully gets chocked to death by an overweight trans prostitute!”

… That was…Odly specific, was quite specific and well…was the strongest wrong that one can write about science.
