Now, I do recommend that if you stop using the site, you do so by loudly giving up, not quietly fading. Leave a comment or make a top-level post saying you are leaving. I care about knowing about it, and it might help other people understand the state of social legitimacy LessWrong has in the broader world and within the extended rationality/AI-Safety community.
Sure. I think this is a good decision because it:
Makes LessWrong worse in ways that will accelerate its overall decline and the downstream harms of it, MIRI, et al’s existence.
Alienates a hard working dude who puts in a lot of hours and professional expertise outside of commenting on LessWrong.
Frees up Said to work on other projects which are a more valuable use of his time.
I can’t really thank you for banning him because I’m fond of him, but I can thank you for making the mistake of banning him. A mistake I can only thank you for because I know it will not be reversed.
May God bless you and inspire similar decisions in the future. :)
