That post was meant as a playful muck, it was a joke. It was not meant as a hostile attack. I’ve no idea how you and Aleksei can come to this conclusions about something many people thought was really funny, even outside of the community. That post actually helped to loosen the very stern sentiment of some people regarding you personally and the SIAI.
“Hey, those people are actually able to make fun of themselves, maybe they are not a cult after all...”
I should quit now and for some time stop participating on LW. I have to continue with my studies. I was only drawn here by the deletion incident. Replies and that it is fun to to argue have made me babble too much in the past few days.

What, why are you talking about a hostile attack?
Of course I didn’t feel that it would be that. It’s quite the opposite, it felt to me like communicating an unhealthy air of hero worship.
Then I have been the one to completely misinterpret what you said. Apologize, I’m not good at this.
I’ve said it before the OP but failed miserably:

Back to being lurker. Thanks.
