I have no particular interest in sharing any of my own, but there does seem to be a bad dynamic going on here that is worth pointing out.
Some people are downvoting the comments that they find abhorrent. This would normally be fine, but in this case it punishes people for correctly following instructions.
I’ve done what I can to remedy this by giving a strong upvote to the responses with low scores, but LessWrong needs to have a way to deal with this in future so the platform doesn’t disincentivize the very behaviours it wants to encourage.
Following instructions doesn’t really ring as a bell as a site goal. The setting of the question seems fair but the ill committed in ignoring the context is different from disobeyance.
