Cousin, you appear to be rather antagonistic. I’m sorry I did not like the article you posted as much as all that. How about we avoid each other for a while—to allow you to cool off?
Am not! :-) I can’t say I liked the article that much either. I just wanted to run it by the LW crowd to see if you people could detect a valid argument that I’d missed, like Rune did with the chess post.
The anger wasn’t about you as a person, but about the discussion standard being lowered. If you dislike the article, you were supposed to communicate your reasons. Like, actually write a paragraph or two of text that doesn’t completely consist of unsubstantiated claims like “utter nonsense”, “ridiculous” or “hopelessly inadequate”. Otherwise the validity of your dislike remains a mystery to everyone but yourself, and all we get is a one-liner comment thread.
Yes, spelling things out takes effort. I for one put quite a lot of effort into the quality of my comments at LW and would like others to do the same lest the place devolves.

Hope that helps.
