By your metric, I fear this may sound as dismissive as the rest of what I wrote. Does it?
No it doesn’t. I feel I understand this comment completely.
Thanks for not being angry for my comment, because by standard metric it was impolite. Somehow I felt the information is more important… and I am happy you took it this way.
This is why Eliezer always uses hyperlinks, even when sometimes it seems strange. :D The LessWrong site is too big, and many people are not here from the beginning. With so many articles even people who seriously try to read the Sequences can miss a few ideas.
Thank you for this advise. I will definitely try to hyperlink a lot more in the future.

There’s a good chance I went back and edited a few things after writing this sentence. :)

I think this type of feedback should be the norm here. It might just be me, but I think the number of LWers who would appreciate this type of constructive criticism is greater than the number who would be offended, especially after weighting based on commenting frequency.
This type of feedback can be invited explicitly in a comment. It was suggested that LW users should be able to invite it permanently through a user profile, but this suggestion was not implemented yet.
