What I meant (but didn’t express well) was more like “they go find another group, which is composed of people who agree with them and can protect each other, and there are also some people around for some reason who don’t like all this creeping but don’t have the wherewithal to leave for some reason”.
Telling them to go away may well increase such congregations (I’m interested in hearing non-anecdotal evidence). But even assuming that happens, do you think the net amount of being-creeped-out increases as a result? Some people do get them to go away, after all.
