God, this guy is literally the ONE EXAMPLE you assholes always hold up. The thing is a) not all of these people, by a long shot, actually "converted away" from racism or even actually left the KKK (there have been follow-ups; some of them were right back at it);

Do you have a source for the follow-ups? I can't find anything. I think you're right but I'd like more evidence

I will have to dig for the link i saw. Unfortunately the unqualified praise is mostly what comes up in searches, you know?

That was the problem I was having! But this Daily Beast article does an excellent job: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-curious-case-of-daryl-davis-the-black-man-befriending-members-of-the-kkk … One of his "friends" shot at someone at Charlottesville, and Daryl Davis helped put up his bail money. WTF is wrong with this guy?

My point still stands. We should make room for the weirdos in the world, like Daryl and Scott, rather than trying to cancel them for trying a different approach. 100% success rate is a strange requirement. We each have our unique role to play in this world.

I didn't say anything about canceling Davis, dude. Your reading comprehension is very poor.

Right. You wouldn't cancel Davis. But would you cancel Scott?

"Cancel" is imprecise. I definitely don't want him to be allowed to treat patients!

Do you have evidence that he's bad at treating patients? What if his patients like him and are being helped by him? Why shouldn't he be allowed to treat patients?

If he's both such a great doctor and such a great writer and thinker then how could being "doxed" possibly harm his career Wouldn't people knowing their doctor was the great Scott Alexander send people flooding toward his practice

Ha ha oh my fucking God You people don't realize how horrible this looks just on the face of it "Scott's blog is a great work of art and scholarship and shows him to be a saintly man of reason and compassion HOW DARE YOU LET HIS PATIENTS KNOW HE WROTE IT"

"There's nothing objectionable in his writing that I can see, you're making that up Also if his real name were ever connected to his writing it would destroy his career and his life"

You know, the one unequivocally true and useful thing Yud has ever said -- and which neither he, nor anyone else in his cult, actually believes -- is "Whatever can be destroyed by the truth, should be."
