Assigning significant weight to this event (on either side) is likely a combination of sensationalist national mass media and availability heuristic bias.
Uncoordinated behavior of individual followers reflects very weakly on organizations or their leaders. Without any indication of wider trends or mass behavior, the evidence would be weighted so little as to demand disregarding by a bounded rationalist.
Yes, I was being dumb. Sorry.
Edit: stop with the upvotes already!
I see you've been upvoted anyways so I'm likely not the only one, but I want to personally thank you for this. People being more willing to admit that they made a mistake and carry on is an excellent feature of Less Wrong and extremely rare in most online communities.
I disagree that it is extremely rare. I've seen a good number of apologies reading reddit, and I think it might be bad to upvote them because it could lead to the motives of any apologizer becoming suspect.
Voted up because it asked not to be upvoted.
Hey, that's my line.
Voted randomly because it references a vote cast on the basis of vote-reference.
