Or Really Extreme Altruism?

This is an example of why I support this kind of censorship. Lesswrong just isn't capable of thinking about such things in a sane way anyhow.

The top comment in that thread demonstrates AnnaSalamon being either completely and utterly mindkilled or blatantly lying about simple epistemic facts for the purpose of public relations. I don't want to see the (now) Executive Director of CFAR doing either of those things. And most others are similarly mindkilled, meaning that I just don't expect any useful or sane discussion to occur on sensitive subjects like this.

(ie. I consider this censorship about as intrusive as forbidding peanuts to someone with a peanut allergy.)

Yes and if the CFAR Executive Director is either mindkilled or willing to lie for PR, I want to know about it.
