I'm not sure it's a question of spine. For me Smith's problem is threefold: unabashed greed, rank idiocy and pure evil.

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:
ADL
@ADL
Ed Sheeran’s fans came for a concert, not performative, biased and hateful anti-Israel “activism” from his opener, Macklemore.

Imagine being a Jewish or Israeli fan who came with family or friends to enjoy the show, only to be confronted with this hostility from the stage. Or feeling so unwelcome by the opening act that you leave early.

This isn’t new for Macklemore. He has a record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.

This is completely unacceptable.

(with embedded video of Macklemore's remarks on Palestine at the Ed Sheeran MetLife concert)

On July 31, Simon Baron-Cohen urged people to tone down the rhetoric on twitter re Jason Arday, and pointed to his own research on autism and suicide. Alexander Kustov responded with "Shame" Elon Musk with "Evil," and a wide variety of people came out jeering. The kind of cruelty on display here.

Prof Ian Pace
@drianpace
If an academic is in such a condition that public scrutiny of his (equally public) work may cause suicidal urges, then as a matter of urgency he should take leave and receive care. Using this threat to try and silence critics is about as low as it gets.

This is amazing. You can't call out plagiarism because SUICIDE. 

This is the cheapest argument imaginable. It's what the trans movement did to shut down debate.

I care deeply about people's mental health. 

However, this is not a satisfactory defense for at least two reasons. 

First, what about the mental health of the people who's work Arday stole? 

What about Paula Zwozdiak-Myers? Women face an elevated risk for certain mental health
