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 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
