I ended up jumping in to bridge the inferential gap in that exact exchange. =P
I think it’s fine to discover/decide that your [enemy] rating should go up, and I still don’t think that means “abandon the principles.” (EDIT: to be clear, I don’t think you were advocating for that.) It might mean abandon some of the disarmaments that are only valid for other peace-treaty signatories, but I don’t think there are enmities on LW in which it’s a good idea to go full Dark Arts, and I think it would be good if the mass of users downvoted even Eliezer if he were doing so in the heat of the moment.

what you refer to as Dark Arts here? do you consider slurs Dark Art? the word Bulshit?
