I also have a bit more of a meta comment: It seems needlessly adversarial to have your username be “EverythingWrongWithSSC”. I don’t want hate/sneer clubs on LessWrong, and especially want to avoid people defining their identities in opposition to other authors on LessWrong. In my model of communities this quickly leads down the road to internal splintering and internal conflict while wasting a ton of resources and generally making it hard for anyone to feel safe or think clearly.
I currently downvoted this post, but would probably remove my downvote if you change your username to something that will less likely introduce needless tribal politics into this whole discussion. Sent you a PM to which you can respond with whatever username you want to have, and I am happy to change it for you.

Done.
Thanks!
