...I would frankly advise all LW regulars not to read this.
One argument in favor of reading the thread even if you think EY is a perfect moderator: if users’ models of EY’s moderating are bad, they may post things in the thread that wouldn’t actually be censored, but the users’ model predict would be censored (e.g. harsh but well-thought-out criticism of views prevalent on LW?)
So maybe if you read something that seems valuable and insightful in the thread (good enough that you would have posted it yourself if you had thought of it), you could repost it to LW… in the worst case, you’ll just find yourself censored.
Anyway, I added a slightly obscure link to this page in the LW FAQ.

If you think I’m a good moderator, you should not read the thread (based on having seen the actual results).
