That sounds like a great way to build a toxic, fear-filled society where everyone’s judged behind closed doors for honest mistakes and small social slip-ups, and where anybody with anything approximating social anxiety has to just stay home entirely because who knows, if I ever think it’s safe to offer an opinion and it turns out I was misreading things and overstepping my bounds, I’ll be immediately rejected as a person and gossiped about in private.

I know Ozy hangs out in places at least adjacent to it.
Yeah. I am aware that a lot of people already live in that world, and I even had a stereotype of Ozy being closer to those people than I, both in terms of knowing more such people/needing fewer steps to reach them, and also in terms of personally caring more about ameliorating that kind of issue. That’s why I was really surprised to see that dynamic popping up endorsedly in an otherwise very-opposed-to-that-sort-of-thing post.
I’ve been feeling sort of sad about how there was no further comment from them on this question. As noted above, it seems really really worth hashing out. I notice that, at this point, I’m essentially interpreting the lack of reply as a lack of defense.
