Just to be clear: you're arguing in favor of doxing/no-platforming/otherwise suppressing people who espouse 'ridiculous, harmful, or "bad"' ideas?
Leaving aside the issue of pre-judging which ideas fall into that bucket, what about the fallible targeting mechanisms of the mob? Do you think that what happened to the culture war thread was good and justified?
- kadendogthing 8y agoWhere does "doxing" come into play? Why did you just whimsically group those together? Feels like a bad faith question.
- MFLoon 8y agoBecause they were grouped together in the original article, as tactics Scott Alexander's detractors had employed against him in trying to silence the CW threads.
- kadendogthing 8y agoBut I replied to the comment directly. So why would you think that original, not really congruent, grouping of concepts applies?
