Attacking people who are bad protects other people in the community from having their time wasted or being hurt in other ways by bad people.
Yes, but Gleb isn’t actively hurting anyone. You need an ironclad rationale before deciding to just build a wall in front of people who you think are unhelpful.
This approach doesn’t scale.
Even if you could really have 100 people starting their own organizations related to EA… it’s not relevant. Just because it won’t scale doesn’t mean it’s not the right approach with 1 person. We might think that the time and investment now is worthwhile, whereas if there were enough questionable characters that we didn’t have the time to do this with all of them, then (and only then) we’d be compelled to scale back.
