Why the heck do Effective Altruists need to be singled out for this? You seem to be punishing people for wanting to be effective altruists, which is super weird.

Maybe he's been antagonized by some smug effective altruist harping on about how much more ethical he is. I suspect things like that happen.

I expect some people perceive effective altruists that way no matter what their attitudes; they feel the harping on about how much more ethical they are is implied.
