I chose the article title somewhat for humor/tongue-in-cheek; it was also a response to a direct question on the other EA Forum post, of “What’s up with all the racists”? I also didn’t want to avoid confronting the topic or mince words, because I think there is a real and important question to address. I am still unsure if this was a good call on net.
I do think Manifest might already be a bit beyond the line (see also Rachel’s thoughts here); if we run Manifest again, I expect we’ll try much harder to deliberately bring in the kindest and most wholesome people we know.
I don’t dislike your style, i’m saying that when you say you don’t court controversy i don’t think that’s fully accurate, you are in like the 90th percentile, as am I.
I think some others have pointed out that adding water to an acid doesn’t make it neutral. Seems pretty plausible that bringing in more wholesome people won’t affect the situation here that much. My personal suggestion is not to have really edgy people as special guests unless they have great track records.
