    That's ridiculous.

    This is the site where women have to make first contact. So what's the threat? "Field and Stream" types date, too.

    Total virtue signaling, as you say - and a grab for media coverage.

    Even if he’s making no sense, and providing no news value, and has done six prior interviews the same day?

    Sorry. Tape an interview, and if he makes news, or provides something backed by evidence, as opposed to opinion, run it.

    To air him live — all fucking day — as he melted down, and became a laughing stock, was irresponsible and exploitative.

    Did you read the article?

    She was doxxed by anti-Semitic sites, and has received death threats.

    What would you do in a situation like that?

    I can't imagine anyone on earth who would be swiping through Bumble, see a man or a woman brandishing a gun, and think, That's the one, right there.

    It wasn't hard to predict that "media bad" would be the deflection device for Nunberg.

    Did you see the photo of the woman at the range in the NYT piece?

    There is no way my friends, who are range enthusiasts, would not swipe right on her.

    I don't care about language. He starts dropping trou, and you're veering into Michael Clayton territory. Then I pull the plug. But this is a pretty interesting debate, I think. I imagine all of us would have a different line.
