Ah, but who will argue for the “Alex’s” who were genuinely made uncomfortable by the proposed norms of Dragon’s Army—perhaps to the point of disregarding even some good arguments and/or evidence in favor of it—and who are now being conflated with horribly abusive people as a direct result of this LW2 post? Social discomfort can be a two-way street.

I disagree with your summary and frame, and so cannot really respond to your question.
