differences between eugine's and kaj's political views

That's something that irked me as well: I would have preferred the ban to be performed by somebody other than a self-identified feminist.

OTOH, I have seen no evidence that Kaj's political views had anything to do with his decision (I just have a sizeable prior for it because he's human), and I can't even recall him ever talking about politics on LW off the top of my head (I only know about his political views from his comments on Slate Star Codex, and the idea of holding people accountable for things they've said in a different venue, well..., it reminds me of something.)

Then why didn't you speak up when Kaj asked the community how to deal with the issue?

I wasn't watching the issue that closely back then.
