   In case you were on the fence about Sabine Hoosenfelder.

     @wordshaper @janl What were some of the other reasons, if you don't mind writing them up? Not a full-fledged argument or anything, just a couple of points maybe, if it's not too much of a bother.

     @janl Wow. I thought she was awful for a lot of reasons already, but I didn't expect to add this to the list.

     @wordshaper @janl Yeah, the cranky stuff goes with the territory, I guess. I'll want to look into the other stuff, thank you!

     @hp @janl The things that most turned me off were her stance on trans kids, her tendency towards bitter rants about things she sees as personal slights, and the fact that she's basically a crank outside her immediate area of expertise.

     (Not that I'm saying she's always wrong about the stuff she cranks about, but a ranting flat-earther crank would *still* be a crank if they were ranting about the earth being round -- it's the belief-driven furvor and borderline madness that makes a crank)
