Preamble: this is a tit-for-tat post. Leiter overstepped his bounds in allowing anonymous metabro speculation about Leigh Johnson to appear on a thread devoted to "professional issues." (He's so desperate at losing his central position in the philosophy blogosphere that he's taken to lending his megaphone to the metabros. No links, but you can find the evidence if you want.) Now Johnson roundly boxed Leiter's ears on her blog and on Twitter, but I think a little supplemental mockery of Brian is in order here. Now ordinarily I ignore the guy (though he's obsessed with me, as when he went over to a Daily Nous thread to tweet out an attack on me, even though it was directed at someone else and even though he's blocked me on Twitter) but I do respond when he attacks SPEP just for malice, or when he plays the SPEP card to distract from lots of non-SPEP criticism of the PGR, so why not a response here?
So without further ado, here's the professional issues poll. Vote for 1, 2, or 3 for most lol-worthy instance of projection on Leiter's part:
1)
2)
3)
Bonus LOL. Leiter's blocked me on Twitter. Must be because I'm not a serious contributor to "professional issues" threads which megaphone the meta-bros.
Only following this from a distance through FB, but these tweets are pathologically unselfaware.

He's like the projection poster-child.
