I have a candidate feedback once, and they showed up at our office drunk & demanding a second chance. I gave a lot less feedback after that.

I feel this says more about the mental stability of that specific person and has very little to do with giving feedback, no?

The feedback was the trigger. Basically the point is it’s worth asking whether the downside of giving feedback and having it go poorly is worth it. A much more common experience is to give feedback, and have the job candidate challenge your feedback and/or share a sob story about how they really needed the job. Trade offs and all that.

Wow, okay, never experienced that myself.

OTOH, sounds like you made the right call on hiring :)
