I’m banning user lesswrong.com/users/alfred, based in part on their reputation in an in-person community, and in part on their LW content being fairly bad. (I realize this is kinda opaque, but seemed better to say something rather than nothing about it)
Insomuch as this comment is an invite for commentary, I don’t think their LW content warranted a ban.
Perusing their comments, they seemed critical of LW/the community, but their criticism didn’t seem valueless?
And I don’t like banning people that provide contentful criticism of LW/the community for evapourative cooling effects. This ban seems like a step in the direction of worse community epistemics?
