I originally came across this link on a well known blog. It makes disturbing reading. Not only were negative reviews posted by people who openly acknowledged they had not read the book, but some commenting on the article were prepared to pronounce the original criticisms valid without reading the book, placing reliance on "trusted" sources on Twitter. Personally I doubt these trusted sources had themselves read the book.
Am I alone in being absolutely appalled by this?

It is to be expected in a world of "Safe Spaces", "groupthink", the seemingly common belief that everyone is the center of their own universe and that difficult ideas should be purged from existence. No one likes all that 'thinky' stuff.
I am appalled, but I am not surprised.
