The above comment, it seems, must be taken either: (1) as a joking ‘Eliezer Yudkowsky fact’ in the style of the post, or (2) as an attempt to state a true fact about Eliezer Yudkowsky for reasons that don’t seem important.
If it was (1), I don’t get it. How is this hyperbole, or funny?
If it was (2), you fail. Eliezer didn’t go to high school, and thus did not drop out.
It was an example how embarrassing facts (yes, there was a small error, which didn’t change the point though) about the Great Leader are being hidden by the karma system by “Eliezer-follower cultists”.

Eliezer Yudkowsky has never been married or hit a woman; he stopped beating his wife nevertheless, thank you for asking.
Remarkable! A comment without any criticism of EY, no worse than the other stupid comments in this thread, which nevertheless is strongly voted down.

First of all, it’s not embarrassing, but rather irrelevant.
Second, it was a good example of how trolls are being hidden by the karma system.
I’m not a troll, but we all know rationalism doesn’t apply when it comes to silencing critique of the Great Leader.
Please note that being a jerk in off-topic comments is not the same thing as taking a noble stand against the oppressive groupthink.
