David Gerard not only has 1000 karma but for a long time admin rights at as least our Wiki. I think it’s strawmanning him to say that he just doesn’t understand LessWrong when he spent years in our community and then decided that it’s not the right place for him anymore.
No, just because you spend years here does not mean you understand the core ideas.
I think we have plenty of evidence that David Gerard frequently completely makes up random strawmans that have nothing to do with us, and maybe there is a small corner of his mind that does have an accurate model of what we are about, but almost always when he writes something he says random things that have very little to do with what we actually do.
