    “a biological essentialist vivisection enthusiast with weird ideas about strict structures, that were frowned upon in the 80th when he was writing them”

    this is pure ad hominem. it’s called poisoning the well. what they say is either true or false, and the individual making the claim doesn’t change the truth value
