Again, ISTM NancyLebovitz (and other LW readers in general) are less intolerant of AA’s ideas themselves than of his continuing to post them over and over again after people have made abundantly clear they’re not interested in reading them for the zillionth time
Then Nancy should ban him based on his habit of repetitively posting, rather than what she actually banned him for, which is for “bigoted policy proposals” (and worse yet, for just almost making bigoted policy proposals). Banning him for that makes it much more dangerous for me to support limits on immigration, say almost anything concrete about how to use IQ tests that falls on the wrong side, connect vegetarianism to abortion, give many answers to the trolley problem, or otherwise speak about a lot of topics that turn up in discussions that have nothing to do with AA.
I wouldn’t actually have a problem with the ban if she banned him for repetitively posting.
