[Moderator Note:] I think it would be good for you to try to write a lot shorter comments, and put a lot more effort into expressing yourself clearly. Multiple people I’ve pinged had a lot of trouble understanding what you are trying to say, and it seems quite bad that almost all of them link back to some documents of yours. Given that you already had one warning, this is your final warning, which means you will be banned after the next violation. I think you are well intentioned, and I am sorry to be so harsh, but your comments are really long and clog up the discussion quite a bit.
You’re use of the word “clogging” is only valid if you assume incorrectly my long comment has no value. I apologize for “clogging’ in your sole opinion, and thought my comment had value. If Dagon, whom the comment is intended for, also found my comment has no value and has read it first and commented to me saying reading was not worth his time, then I would agree with your warning. I have invited the people whom I am in a discussion with to ask me directly if they object. You, who are not a party to the discussion, are the only one to object to me publicly or privately and directly so far. I have had several direct upvotes and at least one direct “thank you” comment from one other poster before you first ban/block on me. Who did you ping for your evidence against me and why are you secretive about it? Are you looking and fishing for a reason to validate your own confirmation bias and pre-judgement of me as a poster? Please reconsider your judgement methodology and criteria.
I object to your brevity filter on communication for the entire less wrong website. Is there a website you could recommend with the accumulated wisdom of LessWrong that also offers a chance for higher bandwidth discussions and more complex discussion than you personally allow me? I’ll go there if you recommend some place better for people who like longer deeper thoughts in their discussion that the moderators wont tolerate at LessWrong. you have a bizarre form of censorship here in actual practice. Any thought too complex is censored by the moderator and banned? Censoring posters for writing things difficult to understand quickly and easily on a complexity focused site like LessWrong seems more wrong. than not moderating at all (IMO).
Normally, I’d write this sort of long winded comment in a an out of the way discussion article that people with short attention spans can conveniently ignore, but you blocked my previous discussion thread and blog post, so it seems you just doesn’t want any significant contribution from me. I’ll stop posting until someone specifically replies to any of my existing posts if you stop censoring my discussion blog and restore my blog post on less wrong for others to consider.
I link to long documents in case people want to know more or know where something came from. It’s like a citation and is indicated by the word “source” before the link. Why would you object to citations? Another of my popular posted links is to the discussion blog post on LessWrong and should not be a reason to object to my postings unless you have some bizzare rule against posting links to discussions on lessWrong from within lesswrong? In order to reduce bandwidth and not “clog” as you claim, I made my own blog post for longer writing and comments everyone could ignore if they were short on time or attention or interest, but you have banned and denied access to readers and me to the my post on LessWrong at https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/CLMh2Ne7D2H9EaXzy/discussion-re-implementation-of-society-scale-benefits-that
Please lift the ban as you promised in you’re previous reply to me and stop censoring my blog posts when any less wrong user could just ignore it and it does no harm. Too much information is a poor excuse for censorship IMO. Thank you for your time and attention. If you’d like me to discuss this elsewhere, please provide a link to where we should discuss this. Or unblock the blog post on your own site I made for longer discussions where it would be less disruptive. Thx.
Alas, I am sorry, but I and the rest of the moderation team do sadly not have the time to completely justify all of our moderation decisions, and it’s important that we hold up a standard of discussion in which people follow our moderation decisions. As I said before, you seem well-intentioned, but my current sense is still that you are net-negative for the discussion quality on this site. I don’t know of any other good site I would recommend you post to, though maybe the SSC subreddit or similar places would be more open to your contributions, and generally have less strict moderation.
I will ban your account, and would request that you do not create another one. This ban will last for three months, at which point you are welcome to post again, though any further violation within three months of the end of the ban will result in a permanent ban. I will not restore your previous comments or post, but if you care about getting access to their content, you can ping us on Intercom and we will send you that. You are welcome to post it to some other forum or host it on your private website, if you so wish.
