{{quote|Post Scriptum: This position caused me to get 000s of harrassing posts from U.K. journos [...] 1) They can’t get me to lose a “job” or affect my income (even if I loved them they don’t have $$ to give, anyway), 2) They can’t sue me over here (recall, America), though I enjoy lawsuits & confrontation, 3) They can’t stop people from reading my books ([[Know-Nothing Know-It-All|IYIs]] are a tiny minority of book buyers), 4) Their random pop-psych labels such as “childish”, “rude”, “narcissistic”, “toxic masculinity” “lacking in self confidence”, or some newly diagnosed psychological disorder by the BBC just to repress dissent fail to convince, 5) They have increased my twitter following (in spite of ~1000 blocks), 6) They can’t reach my mother because someone is instructed to pick up the phone and confuse them in Levantine, 7) What people think of me has never been my concern (truth & integrity come before reputation).

{{quote|@SoniaRothwell> We've made a collective decision to bin @NNTaleb's pop risk book because of his behaviour towards @wmarybeard.
@nntaleb> Please ban all my "pop risk" books. Enact rules to make them illegal on campus. Please put the burning on youtube, please!
