I would be interested in hearing your take on the comments on this post: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/KnJBoRcWdCmnnmq74/request-for-guidance-reaching-out-to-charities-before

The comments come out pretty heavily in favor of "run posts by orgs before criticizing them". Criticizing an org's activities is not exactly the same thing as criticizing someone's argument so maybe it's a different situation. I am not sure what to think.

1) Go ahead and criticize whatever you want, with no need for any kind of warning.

2) Try to phrase your criticisms as against the artifact that you think is wrong, rather than against the person who created it.

3) If you’re tempted to complain that someone is criticizing one of your artifacts without talking to you first, that’s lame, don’t do that.

Gonna make a poster of these for my classroom 🥰
