Ubiq I just now saw that you answered.
Thats not an argument on ubiq, As I said from the onset that is generally how severity is determined, but as we have demonstarted there are no fewer than 25 exceptions .
So then I’m not sure your position.
”we generally assume that is so unless it doesn’t agree with mypersonal moral compass? ”
A person will either be meanes someone or motzi shem ra. you would tell him better to be meanes?
I will tell him neither

Let him do what he wants, God will deal with him. You want to know in din which is worse?
The חפץ חיים clearly states מוציא שם רע is worse.
You are maintaining that he is now better than you first thought because he is no longer being motzei shem ra, is this correct?
no. אין אדם משים עצמו רשע I don’t believe he did the עבירה so it remains מוציא שם רע
