I think upholding a standard of virtue is a good thing. If Scott is behaving significantly unvirtuously, then it’s reasonable to stop giving him free support (and if not, then it’s probably unvirtuous for Habryka to stop providing support in retaliation). At least for me, the purity of doomerism is not at issue here either way, nor is the extent to which I agree with their object-level claims.
Basically, I think the specific details matter, and that this can’t simply be decided on general reputations.
