A Public Apology to Joshua Foust, and a Note on CollegialityJoshua Foust feels that I went over the top in my recent debate against him. The purpose of this post is to explain the course of our debate, offer him an apology publicly, and to make a broader point about collegiality in the public sphere. (There are other modes for people I don’t like or don’t respect, but Foust is someone whom I both like and respect.) Foust is also good at the art of argument, something that is evident from C.J. Though my second entry in this debate featured less bombast, it was — as Foust correctly points out — written in an adversarial tone.
