A big principle I go by is to entirely refuse to participate in attacking a target, even if they may have done something wrong, if the attacks are coming from a bad-faith source.

A big principle I go by is to entirely refuse to participate in attacking a target, even if they may have done something wrong, if the attacks are coming from a bad-faith source.

A flip side to that is that, even in an individual or organization has clear problems, it can be worthwhile standing up for them, funding them, supporting their defense when they're attacked by a bad-faith party.
