Noted! I can understand that it’s easy to feel like you’re overstepping your bounds when trying to speak for others. Personally, I’d have been happy for you all to take a more central leadership role, and would have wanted you all to feel comfortable if you had decided to do so.
My view is that we still don’t have reliable mechanisms to deal with the sorts of problems mentioned (i.e. the Intentional Insights fiasco), so it’s valuable when people call out problems as they have the ability to. It would be better if the EA community had ways of calling out such problems by means other than requiring individuals to take on heroic responsibility, though!
This having been said, I think it’s worth explicitly thanking the people who helped expose Intentional Insight’s deceitful practices—Jeff Kaufman, for his original post on the topic, and Jeff Kaufman, Gregory Lewis, Oliver Habryka, Carl Shulman, Claire Zabel, and others who have not been mentioned or who contributed anonymously, for writing this detailed document.
