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

How much experience do you have with the psychiatric profession? Seems like you are either unaware of, or simply disregard the notion that the psychiatrist's personal life shouldn't be part of the therapy.

I'm pretty opposed to deliberately withholding information from patients that they might find relevant! Especially if it's information that's already pretty widely known among the in-crowd (Silicon Valley techbros) and just not among the unfortunates who need psychiatric care!

I don't think you realize just how arrogant this comes across, given that Scott's real name is already an "open secret" among his fans "It's okay for ME to know who he is, because I'm not one of those poor crazy bastards who needs him to prescribe me meds"
