I did update away from believing Dragon Army was dangerous after visiting there.
It was all people whom I’d expect to be able to hold their own against strong personalities. And they clearly didn’t have a strongly authoritarian culture by global or historical standards.
I’ll explicitly note that I felt extremely fairly treated by your criticisms at the time of the original post, and found constructive value in them. You are not in the reference class I was snarking at above.
I do wish more of the people who had strong concerns had taken steps such as investigating who else was involved; the list was known to within a few people even back when the charter first went up, but as far as I can recall no one publicly stated that they thought that might be crucial.

Thanks.
