Eliezer’s political dismissal of my concerns, when I raised them, and his concoction of what I believe to be a really lame excuse (about the inappropriateness of a top-level post about himself) lit the fuse on this post—it’s a phenomenon which I’ve observed for a while. If our editor will neither acknowledge the place in which he has situated himself, nor take seriously the concerns of LW readers, then I don’t want to be here.
Is it extremely harmful? Probably not. But it warrants address.
I love being in a place where concerns about tyrannical inconsistencies are are calibrated to this level. It is not often I find myself to less sensitive to bullshit.

I had to write a web-crawler for LW to get those cited numbers :).
