Scott is already too charitable. I’d even say that Scott being too charitable made this specific situation worse. I don’t find this to be a worthwhile thing about Scott either for us to emulate, or for Scott to take further.
“Quokka” is a meme about rationalists for a reason. You are not going to have unerring logical evidence that someone wants to harm you if they are trying to be at all subtle. You have to figure it out from their behavior.
Sometimes it just isn’t true that both sides are reasonable and have useful perspectives.
