I do not think this is a matter of merely having held Eliezer in less esteem. There is something to be said about how LessWrong developed a cult of personality around Eliezer, but rather than an objection to the cult of personality per se, what your posts are is a criticism of Eliezer for not living up to the standards of his personality cult, with small notes in passing about how unhealthy your reverence to him was.
The long version is another 70,000 words over four posts.
Criticisms of particular people or groups that long tend to be nebulous and pathological rather than based in some reasonable concern. I hope you will understand if I am too skeptical to read the whole thing, if it cannot be summarized into something concrete.
Thanks. It sounds like you should regard my sky-is-falling level of panic as unsubstantiated until I come back to you with a summary at the end, at which time you can reƫvaluate the question of whether I was correct to panic.
