Notable that this tweet is essentially trying to punish me for discouraging antisocial behavior. "The antidote to bad speech is more speech" doesn't work if you literally go out of your way to try and stop consequences from happening to people who deserve them.

I understand the point you were making about epistemic humility and recognising your own blindspots - but “there but for the grace of God” seems to be doing a lot of work towards discouraging actively calling out confidently stated morally righteous bad takes
