This is my point. This a hundred or a thousand times over. That story, and the story of Emily and Control, and all his posts about conceptual superweapons, and the non-central fallacy, and so on and so on for a hundred or a thousand nuggets of awesomeness. That is why I make my plea.
If I understand correctly, one of the posts in the creepiness is male weakness / conceptual superweapons sequence was linked to recently by Marginal Revolution. The comments weren’t kind, and this was the immediate cause of Yvain locking down his blog, even if he had planned to do so for a while.
I wouldn’t want any gender discussion linked to under my Real Name either. As much as I’m disappointed that I can’t read his posts, I can’t say that I would have reacted any differently.
Yes, I know why he locked it. It is a real issue, I agree. I still feel that it shouldn’t impact us from reading those posts, as he did make some quite good points about conceptual superweapons. That’s why I proposed a karma threshold: Established LWers should be able to access it, without the problems that emerge from it being open to the entire internet.
