In part based on Ben’s followup (which indicated a high level of care) and based on concerning aspects of this post discussed in other comments here, I’m persuaded that Ben’s original post was sufficiently fair (if one keeps in mind the disclaimer that the post was “not from a search to give a balanced picture”), and that most EA orgs don’t need to be afraid of unusual social arrangements as long as they’re written down and expectations are made clear.
(Edit: the discussion between spencerg and Habryka makes me think Ben’s writeup not only could have, but should have, been worded more carefully. Still, I agree with the above paragraph.)
