I mod the subreddit, I’m aware of the history of the sidebar quote
Your interpretation of why we did that is incorrect

You people are obscenely delusional, that sidebar sarcastically links to an Eliezer Yudkowsky comment, and it is not against reddit rules to do that
Contrary to Aiyen’s and Kennaway’s longer comments, I have my own uses for Bayes’ Rule, and I don’t need another update on my prior “invite rationalists to comment on SneerClub and give them a link to SneerClub to do it, and they’ll trash the place and eat the chairs before they give a cubic inch of their infinite mental capacity to the possibility that people who post on SneerClub have the usual accoutrements of personhood such as their own minds, opinions, lives outside SneerClub, and so on”
Thank you for demonstrating succinctly why I removed the link from /r/SneerClub
Because it’s a funny example of Yudkowsky’s persecution complex, and therefore an amusing ironic self-appellation
