Well, I do believe that misrepresenting the views you’re arguing against is dishonest. Especially so, if your essay is literally called “Why I’m Not a Negative Utilitarian”
I don’t like Toby’s “Why I’m Not a Negative Utilitarian” essay because I think it doesn’t engage good arguments in favor of NU (to which I am partial). But I don’t think it’s in any way dishonest for him to have written an informal essay describing his views on the matter. I found it immensely helpful in understanding Toby’s writings about the kind of utilitarianism he endorses.
