I think it’s a problem that you don’t see how this comment thread exemplifies a form of communication that people often interpret as hostile rather than attempting to clarify. You’ve also admitted in the past that you consider some of how you comment to be policing the standards you think LW should uphold. Obviously not everyone agrees with you as evidenced by the difference between what you strongly upvote and what the rest of LW strongly upvotes. I don’t find it surprising or bad that some people choose to interpret you as sealioning in light of this.

What a bizarre thing, to use the word “admitted” here!
As if it is a bad thing, that users should help to enforce the norms of a community! As if it is a bad thing, that users should hold a forum to good and beneficial standards! As if it is—somehow, improbably—a bad thing, to speak up in defense of the norms of good discourse and good thinking—on Less Wrong, of all places!
Should I take this to be an admission that you do not do these things? And if so—why in the world not?
