Are you suggesting that if any words can harm people, all words must be considered harmful?

I'm saying Bankman-Fried has hurt a few orders of magnitude more people than Alex Jones, and allowing him to give interviews and flippantly defend himself is going to cause a lot of emotional trauma.
I think some people have different feelings about their murdered children than they do about stolen money. YMMV.
This is where we get into dark, murky questions.

Is 1 murdered person better or worse than the long term impact of two or even one person becoming destitute enough that their movements have long term impact on another?
