    The writer proved to be vulnerable and according to common opinion needs some thicker skin. He felt a tantrum after reading a tweet of the university professor, who called him a bedbug and sent an email to him and claimed him in uncivility. This occasion burnt a full resonance. A lot of politicians and journalists mocked the reporter, and in some way, this situation has grown in the internet-wide campaign to ridicule Bret.

    The columnist Sohrab Ahmari wrote the article in defense of the vulnerable colleague: ‘Bret Stephens is more than one silly email. And if you are tempted to join the pile-on, don’t. It won’t do you any good, and it might even do your soul some harm”.
