3. Bret Stephens is the one who is wrong here

It all started when some professor said the bedbugs in the NY Times was a metophor and that Bret Stephens is the bed bug. Keep in mind Bret Stephens is a big free speech guy. He emailed him and CC'd his provost in an attempt to get him fired.

This latest column is him not letting it go and people get called worse than bedbug on social media (which the tweet wasn't even sent to him.)
