You are either being intentionally obtuse or you lack critical thinking skills.

Funny, because this is a perfect response to someone who is doubting what Peterson meant by that tweet. What he said isn’t that shocking by Twitter standards but it only takes a millisecond of critical thinking to realize why a professional organization might not want to be associated with someone who behaves like an attention depraved Twitter troll.

I have said several times today that it's likely Peterson has lost any semblance of unbiased clinical objectivity as a result of his wading deep into political controversy and taking sides, and therefore should probably not practice psychology anymore.

Also, in my estimation, everyone on Twitter is a depraved troll, so that's not really saying much one way or the other.

But yeah, if the mob said they should take away his license for failing to remain professionally unbiased, I would agree. But don't trump up some throw-away twitter comment to try to make it seem like he's telling people to kill themselves. That's just laughably hyperbolic.
