Moderator note: I’ve deleted six comments on this thread by users Ziz and Gwen_, who appear to be the primary people responsible for barricading off last month’s CFAR alumni reunion, and who were subsequently arrested on multiple charges, including false imprisonment.
I explicitly don’t want to judge the content of their allegations against CFAR, but both Ziz and Gwen_ have a sufficient track record of being aggressive offline (and Ziz also online) that I don’t really want them around on LessWrong or to provide a platform to them. So I’ve banned them for the next 3 months (until March 19th), during which I and the other moderators will come to a more long-term decision about what to do about all of this.
