I currently doubt the Buck thread would qualify as such from Eliezer’s perspective (and agree with you there that in as much as Eliezer disagrees, he is wrong in that case).
IMO I do think it’s a pretty bad mark on LW’s reputation that posts like Matthew’s keep getting upvoted, with what seem to me like quite aggressively obtuse adversarial interpretations of what people are saying.
The existence of the latter unfortunately makes the former much harder to navigate.
