Isn’t that another version of the slippery slope argument? You give ‘em an inch and they take a mile? Sometimes it’s a fallacy, but mostly not.

- chao- 2y agoSome people will see the situation "appease a person slightly; they will expect you to appease them more," as different from "permit one bad actor; you will find yourself surrounded by more". Specifically because one involves the dynamic with a static counterparty, and the other is the dynamic of being outnumbered by a growing counterparty. I agree they are related, but sometimes one will have more resonance as a metaphor than the other.
