Less Wrong is entertainment
This looks like the beginning of an argument about whether or not LW is “really entertainment.” If it is really entertainment, then that doesn’t prevent it from being useful in any other way, unless its being entertainment precludes it from being those things by definition, which would of course be irrelevant.

But I don’t like how the comment was phrased, nor is that argument terribly strong.

Everyone has to have a worst comment, my worst is probably worse. But please rethink this issue, or express your thoughts better.
