I do not think that comment should have been negative. I upvoted to counteract. I take you at your word that you meant what you say. I see similar problems you do with the R-community and their trendsetters/decision makers.
Status-raising/Compliments:
I loved your articles. In fact, they turned out to be the only thing that was making LesserWrong interesting to me as opposed to just a bunch of AI/Machine Learning stuff I totally don’t care about (I am not the target audience of this site). If you leave, I probably will too, by which I mean going back to checking it once a month-ish to see if anything particularly interesting has been written. Without your articles there really isn’t much here for me, that I can’t get by checking individual blogs, which it turns out I have to do anyways since not everything is crossposted to frontpage.
Advice/Uncompliment:
The Green in me doesn’t like that you aren’t just letting this go. The problematic signs you see I think are true, but you aren’t going to be able to change it by having neverending debates. Accept the community as-is, or move on (but tell me where you’re going, so I can read you elsewhere).
