Perhaps „mean” is a tad unfair, but it seemed dismissive to me when I read it: „Though I’m not entirely sure what Matthew Sweet is or does - his Twitter bio is quite perplexing - he seems thoughtful enough, and I find his criticisms of Hari’s new book to be generally responsible and thus concerning. But while tweets can be concerning, they cannot be damning.” It’s from his There Is No Such Thing as Takedown piece.
I look forward to STW and the British version of Freddie’s piece. Freddie has also been mean about British White Men, notably about Matthew Sweet (and, as Americans are inclined to be, extraordinarily dismissive) prompted by MS’s tweets about Johann Hari.
