If I understand it correctly, author specifically asked a top poster for an opinion, and after receiving negative judgement, decided to stop writing “until further notice”.
Therefore, please, let’s not make this a drama; let’s not make it something it obviously is not. Even if you happen to disagree with the negative judgement, there is a huge difference between “hey you, I don’t like your recent comments, get out!” and “how do you like my recent comments? -- honestly, I don’t—then I guess I need some rest”.
Having said that, I think that this article was a positive contribution, even if it perhaps started with the wrong premises. For example I had a feeling that LW is not exactly what I would like it to be, and I am glad that someone else said it first, and gave me a convenient opportunity to speak my mind. Later from other comments I see that some criticism was wrong. But for me this just means that it is easy to misidentify the exact cause of the discontent, and perhaps a discussion like this can help to identify it.
For example to me it now seems that the website is generally OK, it should just be better organized, because there is a lot of different stuff in “Discussion” and most of it gets quickly scrolled away and forgotten. LW may seem less productive than it really is, because it is a bit disorganized.
