The big problem with your post is that it spends most of its words discussing free will and metaethics without making reference to the substantial material on those topics already posted and discussed on this site. As others have pointed out, not discussing compatibilism has weakened the post as well.
Ultimately, if you were trying to answer the question of how decisions are made, you have should have done so. Too much of the post covered material that wasn’t directly related to what you wanted to get at, and this would have been a problem even without the points mentioned above.
On a related note, you didn’t include any links in your post. Linking to a definition, discussion or explanation of a concept you’re using as a foundation is much better than reinventing the wheel.
All that said, please reconsider abandoning posting on LW. Your comments are frequently worth reading, and your reasoning (if not yet your writing) is usually pretty solid. I’m probably not the best person to make the offer, but I’d be happy to comment on drafts of future posts if you felt that might be useful.

Thank you and if I even do post, I will take you up on your offer.
I would be happy to comment as well.
(Though I’m almost certainly a far worse choice.)
