Yeah, it feels like half of a story. Like they couldn’t corroborate all the details or find out all the info, so they just ran what they had. Maybe putting out there in hopes of being contacted with more info? Interesting that the interim EIC is also a Spencer Hall buddy. Not sure that should be the person to clean up…

PROBLEM SOLVED...THIS GUY WATCHES THEM EQUALLY!

Watching semi-gloss paint dry is far superior to watching matte paint dry.

How come this erroneous, poorly worded statement has this many stars?

I’m surprised HamNo didn’t just say Bernie Sanders.

No, we’re not inept morons.

Hey guys, I ate a log of my own shit right in front of Bret Stephens; you should have seen the look on his face! Hahaha owned!

Samer got emotional and embarrassed himself in this exchange and I can’t see it any other way.

Really. I can’t stand Stephens either, but he definitely came off as the adult in the room here, an adult patiently but gently swatting away spam-children.... This exchange was so embarrassing for Samer, or at least, I felt embarrassed for him because he doesn’t seem to have the sense to do it himself.

First thing I thought too. The only thing missing on the first 2 emails from Samer is "Sent from my Verizon Razr 4G LTE".

I’m shocked that you would so readily share such a deeply embarrassing exchange.  Do you think you come off as the intelligent one in the above conversation?

Samer, did a colleague hack your account and post this under your name? Why would you actually post this willingly? It’s not a good look.

Congrats, Samer. You managed to make Bret Stephens look more reasonable and likable than you.

Unfortunately Samer, you did get owned here. Thoughts and prayers. 

As I made clear, I’m not defending Stephenson’s opinions. He’s garbage.

Good heavens — you send the guy the sort of shallow, witless emails one might expect out of any college humanities freshman ... and you think this exchange somehow makes you look *good*?

Yeah, basically, the conversation was “You’re a doodoo head!” and then Stephens responded with “You shouldn’t call people doo doo heads!” and then “Here are a compelling facts that prove you are a doo doo head! ”

So Stephens took the high road and you wrote a bunch of emails that look like they could have been written by an angry 12 year-old, and you actually think that by writing this and copying those emails and publishing them, we’re going to take your side?

That last email is the one you should have sent first, and it’s a shame you had to let Bret Fucking Stephens hand you your ass before you realized that.
