How will that do Eugine any harm? He seems to have mostly given up on actually posting visibly Eugine-y things, and to be concentrating on mass-downvoting his enemies with a shadowy network of sockpuppets. Ordinary LW users can’t do very much about that however annoyed they may be.
I suppose they could engage in mass-upvoting of comments from users he’s been targeting, but that wouldn’t in any useful sense solve the problem and would probably just result in Eugine gradually accumulating more sockpuppets to drown out their noise with more of his own.

Eugine still cares. You don’t carry out a multi-year campaign to try to subvert a site you don’t care about.
He’s extremely sensitive about his ideas, and how people here regard them.
