The EA community engages quite a lot with its critics, more than the average movement. Of course reactions will differ in a community of ~10k active members, but the most upvoted posts & reactions I read are usually very empathetic and caring.
Also this post is about the Rationality community, and I think it’d be better to keep the discussion about that and not mix in EA community issues here (there are enough other posts about the EA community).
I feel like you’re being unfair here.
