MARTIN STEPAN’S TWITTER STATUS.
I don’t know the status. I thought he was suspended. I don’t know if he’s banned. From what I understand he was the subject of a leftist raid on his account, by a group that organizes the raids, that misrepresented his use of the European history of hanging in Harpending’s papers covering “genetic pacification” as a threat that some today should be hung.

And despite trying, I am and we are, having some difficulty helping martin develop the intuition that helps him imagine both as a czech citizen from birth, czech resident today and non-native speaker, despite his outstanding command of the English language and mastery of our intellectual history, how his rather plain talking, straight talking words can be intentionally misinterpreted and misrepresented by hostile parties. He does not know yet how to ‘couch’ his language in defense against misrepresentation. We have forgotten how much our American culture has diverged from it’s origins a straight talking Germanic people.

We have a law firm that can help restore accounts that have been suspended by raids. But we can’t and won’t help people who break Twitter policy. And Institute policy is pretty strict on the “Decorum”, because we defend our ability to work in social media despite that some of our members are often the target of left wing raids.

I mean, most people find this humorous, and it took a bit of discovery to figure it out, but our canceling on Facebook was an organized rally by Nazis of all people, and our visits from the FBI were, (contrary to what they told us) the result of one of my stalkers, someone I’d been trying to get a restraining order against. The FBI didn’t particularly like it when I sent that letter once I’d found out. That said I do have FBI contacts now that I can reach if I need to. And believe it or not they’ve read my work and at least vaguely understand some of it.

Which is better than I can say for the public. 😉
