I am going to stand by my basic claim that rationalists should try to build an environment where people can make statements about their perceptions of reality without fear of social repercussions.
I reserve the right to publicly spurn insults, nagging, implicit normative claims, misleading innuendoes, and outright falsehoods, whether or not they’re presented as statements about someone’s perceptions of reality.
Are you saying you would prefer that insults, nagging, implicit normative claims, misleading innuendos, and outright falsehoods presented as statements about someone’s perceptions of reality be accepted in the environment in question (specifically, lesswrong)?

Avoiding the environment in question is fine. Would you work to disrupt it’s formation or use?

In the sense of downvoting or calling out people who insult, nag, etc.? Sure.
