There is a counter paper - Legates et al - which is mainly political.
It's not really science though is it? More politics and pretend opinion.

Again, I'll have to read the piece in greater depth, but they did do a study, so the first thing to do is to engage with their practices and results. The Mcintyre blog post casts some doubt on their methodology, but not much, since it's chiefly about a blog post in response, and the timing of it - the emails WERE sent, they just might not have been sent in as conspicuous a manner as they should have been.
I looked for the Legates et al paper, but all I've been able to find is a dead link, a couple things talking about it, and something that seems to be about linguistics. Do you have a link to something specific?
