What Do You Do When Someone Pulls the Pin and Hands You A Grenade? (PZ Meyers, Pharyngula at Freethought Blogs, August 8, 2013)

Shermer wrote a cease-and-desist letter to both PZ Meyers and the student ‘zine.

The adjunct professor (a fellow named Mark McIntyre) who invited Shermer was hit by four Title IX complaints alleging harassment. He was fired by the college before that complaints were investigated, ultimately finding no wrongdoing regarding an E-mail he sent. He sued the college alleging political retaliation and won his job back (he has since retired).

Notice all of this was alleged at the time. The only thing that went to court was the adjunct professor’s case which was resolved in his favour. Everything else played out across blogs and a student ‘zine.

PZ Meyers is one of the so-called New Atheists which Christians love bashing (unless they can find a blog post to go after a more prominent atheist such as Shermer).

The Santa Barbara Independent reported on the firing on May 30, 2018
