This author is saying certain types of uses of a term are beyond the pale. Um, no. All is fair in total war. I don’t like it either, but the market cares not what I think any more than it does what the author thinks.

Sorry, I can't keep track of when you think the exchange of ideas is like a free market -- you know, where people buy and sell things in mutually beneficial economic exchange -- and when you think it's like total war -- where people try anything to kill each other, duh. Maybe you want to think through that and sort it all out.
Also, your summary of what Elizabeth Spiers shows a poor grasp of what she said. Hint: More apt to say that she is engaging in the exchange of ideas than that she is trying to destroy you. Maybe it would be easier to participate in the intellectual exchange if you weren't sheltering in a ditch to avoid the forces of "wokeism"? The market does care what she thinks, fwiw, even if you don't. She makes a living from it, if not a killing, pun intended.
