I want to know if she still condones the way '''Rebecca Watson''' [http://phawrongula.wikia.com/wiki/Attacks_on_Stef_McGraw bullied] '''Stef McGraw''' and got her to shut down her blog. What part of that is not “trying to destroy the other”? Remember Michael Payton, whose job was put at jeopardy just because Benson and her pals [http://freethoughtblogs.com/zinniajones/files/2012/08/payton-1.png couldn’t figure out a tweet] and thought he had a different opinion? That’s pretty destroying, if you ask me.<ref>[http://www.skepticink.com/avant-garde/2014/07/27/ophelia-benson/ The Ophelia Benson canard], Posted by Ðavid A. Osorio S on Jul 27, 2014 </ref>}}
