    Now I see a community whose commendable openness to unbiased discussion of any idea is being misused by questionable actors to platform their views.

      “my good removed have you met rationalists”

      It can be pretty hard to admit you have been conned, so I figure this is their defense mechanism, pretending that this all is new and not that it has been there from the start. (The hbomberguy skull guy was one of the early LW people for example (9 years, has it been 9 years already?))
