Eliezer wasn’t posting much on LW before then, unless I’m misremembering badly, so if (1) you’re right about that being the only substantial argument between Eliezer and Said and (2) Duncan’s claim is specifically that Eliezer avoids LW because of unpleasant interactions he’s had with Said (as opposed to e.g. because he’s observed how Said interacts with others and doesn’t want to risk joining their number) then something doesn’t add up.
fyi I don’t have a belief that Eliezer avoids the site because of Said-in-particular (although I think he does generally avoid the site because it’s unhedonic). I think a couple things maybe got conflated here.
