Your comment is exactly the problem that they're trying to point out, though. "They're bad people because they had positive things to say about this other guy" is nonsense. But because the orthodoxy has decided that James Damore is a heretic, guilt by association is automatic. (The James Damore case is a perfect example of this. If you actually read his memo, it's far different from how it was portrayed: at no point does he argue that women are less capable of being engineers than men. It's also not bad science.)
