mjgeddes was once publicly dissed by Eliezer Yudkowsky on OB (can’t find the link now, but it was a pretty harsh display of contempt). Since then, he has often bashed Bayesian induction, presumably in an effort to undercut EY’s world view and thereby hurt EY as badly as he himself was hurt.
No, not that. Geddes made a comment on OB about eating a meal with EY during which he made some well-meaning remark about EY becoming more like Geddes as EY grows older, and noticing an expression of contempt (if memory serves) on EY’s face. EY’s reply on OB made it clear that he had zero esteem for Geddes.
ETA: Never mind. I got my crackpots confused.

You’re probably not thinking of this On Geddes.

Nope, that was Jef Allbright.
No wonder I couldn’t find the link. Yeesh. One of these days I’ll learn to notice when I’m confused.
