I don’t think it’s “strong” evidence per se, but, it was evidence that something I’d previously thought was more of a specific pet-peeve of Duncan’s, was more objected to by more LessWrongfolk.
(Where the thing in question is something like “making sweeping ungrounded claims about other people… but in a sort of colloquial/hyperbolic way which most social norms don’t especially punish)
Some evidence for that, also seems likely to get upvoted on the basis of “well written and evocative of a difficult personal experience”, or people relate to being outliers and unusual even if they didn’t feel alienated and hurt in quite the same way. I’m unsure.
I’m not sure what you think this is strong evidence of?

I upvoted it because it made me finally understand what in the world might be going on in Duncan’s head to make him react the way he does
