I don’t know what you mean by “condescension is de facto allowed”; besides which, this is not about what is allowed, but about what is right by the standards that LessWrong is based on.
I am not concerned to “differentiate ourselves”, but to say what I see in SneerClub. This is not a shit-flinging contest, however much you try to make it be one. What is your purpose with this post? “Let’s you and him fight”?
But “hokey” analogies? No.
