The fact that some of these web site owners are in fact very wealthy and own buildings is not relevant.

You're overgeneralizing too far. This is like saying just because a church has a building doesn't mean they are an organization. The building was purchased with the expressed intent of being used for the group. It appears you trying to suggest there are weak ties where there are actually strong ones. These people all know each other and shared ideas.

more like: just because a church is an organization, it doesn't mean that every christian believer is a member of that organization. like there is no requirement to be a member of a church to practice christianity, there is no requirement to be a member of any EA organization to practice EA.

correct. and bad people doing EA or bad people doing EA badly doesn't make EA bad.

I'm not a huge fan of EA, but I'm sick of seeing HN and EA endorse tribalism by saying that all Christians this or all Republicans this or all white people that or all rich people that....

-rich white Republican Christian
