Yeah, I think I agree with everything you’re saying. I think we were probably thinking of different aspects of the situation—I’m imagining the sorts of crusades that were given as examples in the OP (for which a good faith assumption seems straightforwardly wrong, and a bad faith assumption seems straightforwardly correct), whereas you’re imagining other situations like a university withdrawing affiliation (where it seems far more murky and hard to label as good or bad faith).
Also, I realize this wasn’t clear before, but I emphatically don’t think that making threats is necessarily immoral or even bad; it depends on the context (as you’ve been elucidating).
