Being banned from my blog does not mean I think you are a horrible person, nor are all neoreactionaires horrible people. (Not all members of any group are horrible people, although some can be good people who are sadly misled and cause grave harm for that reason.) However, many of the worst neoreactionaries dislike Scott Alexander greatly, and their disapproval certainly does say good things about his character.
If, for example, a person dislikes me because I am donating money to charity and they think I should use that money to help my perfectly comfortable and well-off family, I do not want that person’s approval. If due to personal weakness I instead spent all my money on baby toys, and the person now approved of me, then I would feel unhappy about this state of affairs.

Reversed immorality is not morality.
Bad person dislikes X, therefore X is good seems like the kind of thinking that gets you to conclude that because the world’s most foolish person said it’s raining outside means that it’s sunny and you shouldn’t carry an umbrella.
I object to the epistemic policy you’re adopting here.
