Because as somebody who could potentially be mistaken for a Leader I want to be pretty derned careful about laying down laws to regulate other people’s sexuality; and while something like that would definitely be a red flag at, like, idk, CEA or MIRI, maybe it’s different if we’re talking about a 3-person startup. Maybe you’ll say it’s still ill-advised, but I don’t know their circumstances and there’s also a difference between ill-advised and Forbidden. I feel a lot more comfortable leaving out the ‘maybe’ when I pontificate my legislation about informing a donor that your recommended grantee is one with whom you’ve had a relationship—though even there, come to think, I’m relying on all the donors I ever talk to being sensible people who aren’t going to go “OH NO, PREMARITAL SEX” about it.
