I marvel at the apparent certitude with which you introspect. Maybe doubt is supposed to be implicit in all such statements, but I’d throw some extra weaseling in sometimes to make it clearer. In any event, your analogy is horrible: “friends” means private, different reputation issues, etc.
Edit: I should add, my point has nothing to do with “abrasive” social norm violations, as I understand that term. I consider that typical LessWrongian self-congratulation.
Please do me the favor of accepting my apologies for tone, even if you don’t care. So, my original response was intended as a compatibility test. If I were a LessWrongian (I’m giving digs for fun), I would call it a literacy test or an intelligence test. So, if you think that −11 (as once it was) is surprising or not really sensible, we’re possibly compatible (even though I think the score is fair; personal biases). Otherwise, less likely (is the intent). I was also considering forbidding people from downvoting me. Apologies: just amusing myself. I’ll stop now.

I’ve edited to include a more full version of my thoughts, good point.
