MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Quote. The people who were chanting have accused him of silencing survivors of domestic abuse by writing a critique of call-out culture in his essay,

Fishy premise.  I could not read the essay because Last night I heard the screaming...  Loud voices behind the wall... Prayed that I was dreaming... and then it occurred to me that the author was probably speaking to the effect that we are not addressing the real source of violence when we turn against each other.  Freely, we willfully do violence to ourselves when we fall for the trap of playing prisoner/informant and guard.  This is just a physical extension of the panopticon being transparently deployed.

So my wild guess is that the provocateurs were calling-out for a demonstration of principle.  The outcome suggests more thinking on the subject is necessary.  I might forgive them calling the police if something really outrageos happened, however I doubt that was the case.
