By this exact scenario, do you mean something TOTALLY different? disagreeing with someone who makes public comments on an internet forum is not "creepy entitled shit" (you wouldn't even have thought to make this accusation here if SilasBarta was female and Eliezer was the target) and even if we assume that the original situation of banning him from responding to her was totally justified (I don't know, I haven't read the backdrama), then it's still ridiculous for Alicorn to respond to a thread SilasBarta is talking in without him being able to reply. I'm not trying to defend anything SilasBarta did in the past, I'm trying to defend conversation. If you have a restraining order against someone, you shouldn't walk right up to THEM and force them to leave wherever they happen to be.
Agreed, and I think that says something interesting and useful. Symmetry is not a useful tool here.
If there's broader interest in seeing some attempt at a rationalist view of privilege I'm keen to get whatever help is available, and take it to a separate Discussion.
I would be interested in seeing some attempt at a rationalist view of privilege, however I'm not sure that it would be welcome here; also I do think there are many advantages in trying to stick to the "no mindkiller topics" rule. Do you have a personal blog that you could post it on? If you do decide post it on LW I would recommend using the open thread, rather than the discussion or main section.
