Comment (by taylorfausak):

 I understand that this is an old issue, GHCi has behaved like this
 forever, and the `-ghci-script` workaround exists. Nonetheless this
 behavior always surprises and annoys me. Even if I run `chmod g-w .ghci`
 GHCi still complains that `. is writable by someone else` and ignores my
 `.ghci` file. I would like it if this permission check didn't exist at
 all, especially for directories and doubly so for `~/.ghci`.
