The first LW post I was ever directed to was so bad (and the comments were waaaay worse) that I didn’t comment, decided never to look at this site again, and had to be convinced by the steady campaigning of a friend.
As I said, I spent a while trying to find it, but I couldn’t. I really wish I could find it, because it was a stellar example. After I failed to find it I thought that maybe it was actually a post at OvercomingBias (don’t even get me started on Robin Hanson), but I couldn’t find it when looking for that either. I think I must have deleted the email in a fit of rage.
Do you remember what post that was?

My own vague recollection of this event says it was a Hanson post on the original OB.
Oh, oops, I didn’t even notice that last line, or didn’t notice it was talking about the same thing. Sorry.
