Maybe I’m naive, but I’m no troll. People here pride themselves on open-mindedness, so I hoped for a better reception.
No, this is just more trolling, using “open-mindedness” and (elsewhere) “thoughtcrime” as Power Words to stun opposition.
I’d happily remove the tags if I someone can tell me how.
I don’t believe you. If you’re smart enough to put them there you’re smart enough to remove them.
I thought there would be other posts with similar tags, so I thought they would be helpful.
I don’t believe you. You could not possibly have thought that there were such other posts, and clicking on those tags shows none.
I made a post on the Open thread, as suggested, dealing with the meta-issue of whether pedophilia was a forbidden topic here or should be. I can’t see it any more; maybe it’s been downvoted into oblivion.
I don’t believe you. It’s still there, and even, extraordinarily, upvoted.
Not much point in addressing the character assassination.
But when I look at the icons below a reply, I see an “edit” icon. That’s my intuition as to how to get to a place where I can remove tags. I don’t see any such icon for a main post.
There is no edit link when I do that, and I have an idea what might be going on. My karma is no longer sufficient to post in the Discussion area, so perhaps it has also removed my ability to edit the post. If so, this isn’t a problem I can solve on my own.

Go to http://lesswrong.com/user/JoshElders/submitted/ and then look under the post at the various icons… there will be an edit link, probably going to http://lesswrong.com/edit/it3 -- you can then change tags, or even withdraw the post by submitting it back to your drafts.
