(meta side: I notice you splitting comments due to length, and not sure if that’s due to aesthetic or because of something about the site preventing long comments. I’ve been able to type long comments without issue so wasn’t sure)
I think it’s been mentioned a couple times that the site does not have any limits on comment length. If you’re having trouble posting long comments, can you elaborate on what happens when you try?
From what I understand Said is currently posting comments through greaterwrong.com, which is a site that uses our API to provide their own view on the LesserWrong.com content. Our API currently has a character limit for posting markdown directly into comments (which is an accidental result from some of the frameworks we are using), and I think greaterwrong.com is running into that problem.

It’s the latter (and I am told it’s being worked on, which is why I haven’t posted to complain about it).
