I’ve read a decent number of your posts, and it seems a bit out of character for you to generalize so heavily, and use all caps to describe everyone on LW as having a sentiment similar to, “Doctors are incredibly stupid and just by knowing about this one study I can totally outdo all of them.”
I know you don’t really mean it literally, but it may be worth pointing out that that sort of thing is just another one of those epistemically hazardous and unhygienic habits that should be done away with.

Seems to me that Yvain is slightly fed up with those on the site who display the LW superiority attitude (I also complain about it on occasion, and so do others). The generalization and all caps probably indicate a certain amount of bitter sarcasm.
Yeah. Slightly fed up is too fed up. It’s never useful to be fed up, as far as I’ve ever seen. I’ve read a decent number of Yvain’s posts, and he’s always come off as rather immune to getting ‘fed up’ or ‘annoyed’ or anything, so I thought it was sort of out of character, and not in a good way.
