due to CEA’s response leaning towards the side of caution, the accuser walks away feeling like their complaint hasn’t been taken seriously enough/that CEA should have been quicker to act
I’m sure this has happened, and I’m sad about that.
I also know different people who would say that CEA has been too aggressive in kicking people out, too willing to take action based on limited evidence.
I want to weigh the fact that people will feel alienated by both of these perceptions/experiences. But ultimately we can’t make decisions based only on whether someone will feel disillusioned with EA as a result, because it often seems any call we make will result in someone feeling we were too far in some direction.
