Somewhat offtopic, but I’d like to see someone writing a GreaseMonkey script which hides the name of the commenter and the current score level on all comments, so you’re not being influenced by the status of the commenter and/or the current score level on that comment. The commenter name could be seen with a mouseover so you can reply to it though.
I’ve been using that for a while. It’s, not so much surprising as interesting, how much it changes one’s outlook.
It doesn’t deal very well with the “Recent Comments” sidebar, I added a .5s delay to wait while the AJAX loads. That’s not quite satisfactory, but I don’t know how to tell a GreaseMonkey script to wait for a specific AJAX query to load.
EDIT: OK, now I know. It would be helpful if LessWrong could be upgraded to a more recent version of the Prototype framework.

You seem to be describing Marcello’s anti-kibitzer.
