No, the comments were for those who have advice for a community of which they have to not be a part.
Which community? The liberty community? I think the folks offering advice are all part of that community. As are you.
We don't discern enough, exclude enough, etc etc. I'm tired of it. I don't require perfection of my friends and associates, but if they do something that's wrong, I'm happy to hash it out with the parties involved.
It's not an issue of perfection. Humans are imperfect, and always will be. But you, I, folks here, and many other all tell the general population that liberty can work because enough folks will be responsible, and that responsibility will be enough to deal with those who would cause trouble, without the coercive State to do that. Part of that means speaking up when you know someone has a history of causing harm, so others can
avoid being harmed. That doesn't mean you need to have weekly witch-hunts. But it does mean that, if we are going to lead by example and show folks that they can have a peaceful, functional society, without a coercive State to control everyone, we have to demonstrate how that works.
So, as I've said before, we need discernment. We - all of us, 'cause I'm not picking on you - need to demonstrate how that works. That does not mean we should never associate with someone who has faults, but it does mean that we should be acknowledging those faults, and explaining how we believe that those faults don't outweigh the contributions this individual has to offer, rather than acting in a way that makes it appear that we are keeping our heads in the sand and not even attempting to discern what faults may or may not exist.
Who would you rather work with: someone who has a bunch of ladders, and tells you that one of them is old and can't handle much weight (he threw out the other old ones), but he doesn't know which, or someone who has
several such ladders, but can tell you which ones they are, so you don't use them for heavy lifting? I'd rather work with the second, who actually engages in less
exclusion of faulty ladders, but more
discernment as to which ones need a little extra care when used.
