gwern, I was under the impression that this is a rationalist site, dedicated to the idea that people are fallible creatures, and should not act with the conviction that they are right and anyone who disagrees with them is wrong...Now, the question is: are you willing to act like an adult, or are you going to just have a temper tantrum because someone doesn’t understand you?...If you can’t have a calm, rational, and civil conversation about this, then I can only conclude that it you are not a rationalist.
I really don’t care about your underhanded attempts to shame me into further engagement, and I stand by my earlier comment.
Openly asking you to explain your post is “underhanded”? You have already engaged in further engagement. It’s just that that engagement consists of going to another thread and insulting me, rather than actually addressing the issue in the thread that it came up in like an adult.

no, saying shit like “I thought this was a rationalist site” is an underhanded attempt to shame someone into saying what you want them to say.
