Thanks for posting this. Its all so stupid. Beatriz is totally correct. I love the term she used for victimization, I realize it doesn't mean this, but it is kind of written as 'cranky sabre-handling', which seems somehow appropriate. OK, someone is now going to nail me for 'cultural appropriation', ha.

Its also really disappointing for me personally to see what happened to Beatriz, as I was once a huge supporter of SETI and participated years ago in the distributed computing project to process data from Arecibo. That they too have gone woke and joined the irrational witch-hunts is sad.
