“I’d rather extract money/support from people who wouldn’t willingly give it to me, if I were being candid.”
I wasn’t hiding anything at the time—my views were evidently public when I spoke to this person.
Maybe I didn’t make this clear enough in the first post: by clear inference and implication, I was turned down because of critical views on senior EAs/orgs—because I don’t have any other views that anyone ever suggested would be problematic in this context.
I’m hiding now because of that same experience. As Jason says, I didn’t need to post, and it’s quite unpleasant to do so. I posted to contradict the narrative promoted by senior EAs that criticising EA leadership has no reputational risk—which seems highly relevant to a thread telling people they shouldn’t use burner account to criticise EA leadership.
