I question Vassar’s wisdom, if what you say is indeed true about his motives.
I question whether he’s got the appropriate feedback loops in place to ensure he is not exacerbating harms. I question whether he’s appropriately seeking that feedback rather than turning away from the kinds he finds overwhelming, distasteful, unpleasant, or doesn’t know how to integrate.
I question how much work he’s done on his own shadow and whether it’s not inadvertently acting out in ways that are harmful. I question whether he has good friends he trusts who would let him know, bluntly, when he is out of line with integrity and ethics or if he has ‘shadow stuff’ that he’s not seeing.
I don’t think this needs to be hashed out in public, but I hope people are working closer to him on these things who have the wisdom and integrity to do the right thing.

But it might also not be very wise.
