VALIS help me, this whole… conversation just feels so surreal to me somehow.
That’s a statement primarily about yourself, only secondarily about the conversation.
Can you please cool it down with attempting to use outrage as an argument? There’s all the rest of the internet if we want to see that, LessWrong is one place where outrage-as-argument should not fly.
I don’t see the grandparent as an attempt at argument at all. Elsewhere, I see Multiheaded expressing arguments with outrage, but this is substantially different from using outrage as an argument. I agree with you that the latter shouldn’t fly on LW, but I have nothing against the former.
