Regardless of whether or not this is compatible with being a “complete jerk” in your sense, I wish to point out that wedrifid is in many respects an exemplary Less Wrong commenter. There are few others I can think of who are simultaneously as (1) informative, including about their own brain state, (2) rational, especially in the sense of being willing and able to disagree within factions/alliances and agree across them, and (3) socially clueful, in the sense of being aware of the unspoken interpersonal implications of all discourse and putting in the necessary work to manage these implications in a way compatible with one’s other goals (naturally the methods used are community-specific but that is more than good enough).
I appreciate your kind words komponisto! You inspire me to live up to them.
