Allowing less wrong users to send each other anonymous messages would be great site feature. There could be a checkbox in your preferences to determine whether you operated under Crocker’s rules or not, maybe with room for an explanatory note on how you like your criticism. (This would also solve the problem of asking people if they operate under Crocker’s rules in real life as a prelude to criticizing them – it’s kind of awkward because if they don’t operate under Crocker’s rules, just asking is tantamount to criticism, which they might not be comfortable with. if this feature were implemented, you could just check their less wrong profile instead of asking.)
By the way, I operate under Crocker’s rules! (hint, hint) the e-mail address described in my profile website is ideal.
And when I remember, I heartily thank anyone who criticizes me. (Maybe someday if I’m wealthier there will be monetary rewards ;)
