How so? The harassment campaigns launched from Kiwifarms seem like the opposite of rational argument. Do you imagine that going into Kiwifarms and engaging the users in rational debate about the basic humanity and dignity of their targets would be a fruitful endeavor?

The harrassment campaigns that have no* paper trail back to kiwifarms, the forum that is public and anyone can archive at any time?

Ever since i've started to pay attention to kiwifarms from cloudflare dropping them i've been trying to get the evidence of any harassment coming from there and not being extremely looked down upon/banned and have come out almost empty handed. The scraps i've got are from chris chan in like 2013/2014?

This is the kind of dangerous "everyone knows that it is clear they do X thing hence there is no need for evidence".

Now to be fair I don't doubt harassment comes from individual kiwifarms users, maybe even organizing with other people somewhere else, but taking down the website will not change that, and guilt by association is a dangerous thing.

*none that I could find in the previous threads/most articles about it that is. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

That's a very long winded way to say you have no evidence of it ever happening

Well, it's like Trump. We can't actually convict him of treason yet, but everybody knows he's a Russian pawn.

So basically "i can't provide any evidence but just trust me because I don't like them" then?

In the quote we were discussing, Popper is not concerned with any particular resolution of the argument, but only with whether words are being answered with more words or with fists.

As far as I've been able to tell, Moon allows anyone to express any viewpoint on his forum.
