42 A simple glance at the kind of attention received by the twitter feed of Ryan T. Anderson, one of the authors of What is Marriage is enough to note the severity of the criticisms made against his argument. This includes unfair ad hominem attacks as well the kind of “Trolling” common to online disagreements of this kind.
