It is an extremely annoying bug. It shows up not just with italicized words, but sometimes with words written in bold and most damning of all, links.
Clearly he meant written in blood. Come on guys, if we are going to be serious about this doomsday cult thing we need to stop jumping each other because of typos, so chill wedrifid.
Well of course it does, but my brain perceives these as separate separate insults to my weak determination to work through trivial inconveniences! In any case I don’t share Eliezer’s love for italics, but not being able to spam my articles with a dozen links, is plain unforgivable.
It may help to think of selecting pieces of text and clicking buttons to turn them into links as the inconvenient part. On the rare occasions when I’ve made top-level posts, I’ve edited the HTML source directly (in a real text editor). Happy Festivus!
A bug that affects italicized words also affects words written in bold. Inconceivable!

Tis is the season to air grievances after all. :P
Definitely! I love link spam. It formalizes how we use phrases as references to existing concepts and saves on google searches!
