The responses to your comments are predictable and appropriate. You are indicating through word and action that you are unable or unwilling to learn from the consequences of your behaviour. Your contributions add little positive to the site and you will continue to be received negatively for as long as you continue to needlessly antagonise. Please seek an alternate avenue for discussion which is more receptive to your style of interaction.
Peterdjones: I am unable to respond to your comment below, but I can respond here. I do come here occasionally, so I will not stop doing that.
However, as you can see from the comment that I am responding to, by “wedrifid”, even when I am civil, mature and write informative, technically thorough comments on LW, I get a barrage of insults such as the one just made by wedrifid.
I usually reserve my judgments on the general level of intelligence of the comments on this site. I am more honest when I speak about LW in other venues.
Here, I just act in a polite manner (though sometimes with the vivid, entertaining prose) and watch with great amusement as a torrent of hostility rains down.
Richard, please don’t be bullied off the site. It is LW that needs to learn how to handle debate and disagremeent, since they are basic to rationality.

Regardless of whether the comments are from Eliezer or from some barely known account terrible comments and petty antagonism are not welcome.
I don’t care one way or the other whether Richard Loosemore stays on the site. However, if he stays and continues to post the same way that he has thus far it would constitute a failure.
Almost everyhting he said has been civil, well informed an on topic. He has made one complaint about doenvoting, and EY has made an ad-hom against him. EYs behaviour has been worse.

I agree on this much and am glad that Eliezer was not well received either.
