If nothing else, this is a telling test of the TOQ approach. Hunter and the denizens of his blog are exactly the smart, educated, inquisitive audience TOQ’s essays are pitched at. Now Alex exposes a mentally ill sexual degenerate in a position of responsibility in the movement. Their reaction is to rush to the defense of the pervert and to snipe at Alex over some lack of propriety. It seems knowledge and intellectual understanding of some problems aren’t enough to overcome warped, maladaptive liberal values. If it’s important to reach this audience, it needs to be reached on a much deeper level.
