    Because she trafficked children. The DoJ’s official story seems to be that Epstein and Maxwell abused children purely for their own edification while hanging out with a bunch of powerful people whom those children later falsely accused of sex crimes out of pure spite.

    Cutting her off was definitely rude, but I agree that it’s silly to ask everyone you meet if they wrote each book you want to discuss with them.

    If you had something like

    Alice: I’ve been researching a guy recently, do you know anything about him?

    Bob: I recently read a book about him, have you heard of it?

    Alice: I wrote that book.

    Bob: Wow, cool to meet you. I really liked your work!

    Bob still assumes that Alice didn’t write the book until told otherwise, but he doesn’t cut her off, and this conversation is perfectly pleasant.









    1. Make a statement that is at best wildly controversial and at worst blatantly untrue
    2. Redefine the words in that statement to make it vacuously true and completely uninteresting
    3. When challenged, say that you don’t care about common parlance
    4. Everyone loses, because this debate is now pointless and annoying
