Oseroff apologizes to Professor Stock and others for his on-line conduct

Here.  Good for him!

ADDENDUM:  A reader points out that Mr. Oseroff has deleted his apology.  Here is the full text:  "I have seen many comments shared online, even in the philosophy community, that I have found objectionable because I believed they targeted the trans community in  the weeks leading up to the Gender Recognition Act consultation.  I responded to these comments in ways that singled out individuals that shared these messages.  I can understand how hurtful my comments are to receive.  I deeply regret the way I responded and will not do it again.  I apologize to Professor Stock and others who may have been hurt by my comments."  I do not know why Mr. Oseroff deleted the apology; perhaps because it was insincere, as his subsequent conduct, unfortunately, suggests.
