I should note that I do think this post contains all of my cruxes re: disagreement; i.e. that in every case where you’ve strongly disagreed with me about norms or policies or how-a-given-conversation-should-go, the principle I was acting on was among those laid out here.
(Most specifically: when it’s justified to punch back, what counts as not-meeting-the-standard-of-rationality, and how much leadership is obligated to actively defend the right-but-unpopular.)
From my own past experience as a mod and admin, I predict that scale concerns are miscalibrated. It’s a lot at first, but just as some teachers wage an unending losing battle against student misbehavior while others basically see no problems at all, ever … once the standard is set and enforcement is clear, consistent, and credible, problems 90% stop occurring.
(I acknowledge that I have not fully responded to all of your points; I wanted to register these things quickly but other stuff is probably worth responding to later in other comments.)

Yeah, I can definitely imagine this being the case. I don’t have strong opinions on this concept, although I’m in part worried that doing it right involves a lot of skill, and failing to do it right may make things worse.

Yeah, it makes sense that this is the parts that seem like most salient points of disagreement. But I think it’s fairly important (and has been the last couple times we talked about this), that I agree with most of the cruxes listed here, and yet disagree with the conclusion. So it’s important that whatever is causing the disagreement isn’t actually covered here (or at least, not covered sufficiently)
