Yeah, I am starting to think AA sounds more like an insane troll caricature of NRx. What I find disappointing is that AA is doing this using the same username as he uses for posting actual useful stuff about cryonics and life extention, cos he has to realise he’s making these areas look bad by association. (I really don’t like guilt by association, but the halo effect is a thing)
Its certainly not helping NRx either, cos firstly getting caught using upvote brigades shows they can’t win a fair argument and secondly getting caught using upvote brigades shows they are incompetent enough to get caught.
calling Anissimov on some of his bullshit (in one of my most upvoted comments of all time)
Was that when I said it was bizzare that Anissimov regards transexuals (0.1% of the population) to be a threat, he denied this was his attitude, I apologised, and then you argued that he had been trying to expel Justine Tunney from NRx because she’s trans, and a massive argument developed?
Huh, that was you. That was the time yes, though I was more reacting to him saying something along the lines of ‘when have I ever spoken about the dangers of gays and transsexuals’ and I did a google search and found a very clear example example in literally 20 seconds that I linked to and quoted and got upvoted for, and me being irritated at the fact that he was misdirecting people in a hilariously obvious fashion by using that controversy that I still don’t quite understand to give false impressions about and misrepresent himself and his posse. I gave very nearly zero shits about the particular internal controversy, though its far from clear to me how anyone can read anything from that guy and come to a different conclusion especially considering you can’t trust him to talk about himself accurately.
I do know that disgust with that whole thread and the people that cropped up both there and all over other comment threads shortly thereafter significantly increased the length of time my sabbatical from this site for the purposes of manuscript writing lasted. Took people talking big bang cosmology to tempt me back.
