Shea always rubbed me the wrong way, but I chalked that up to my biases based on his vocal style. He got a lot of social proof from podcast hosts that I trusted, and I figured they were in the trenches with him so they had a better perspective on his position than I did, so I repressed my discomfort as “just feelings”. Last year all those feelings came flooding back when I read his article about the PSL (I’m not a member, but I have been consuming their content a lot and feel I have a pretty good understanding of their position, and what Rainer was writing didn’t withstand even cursory investigation).
