Yes, well… the problem is that this is the central issue in this whole dispute (such as it is). The whole point is that your preferred policies (the ones to which I object) directly and severely damage LW’s ability to be “a free marketplace of ideas, a place where contradicting ideas can be discussed and debated”, and instead constitute you effectively making a list of allowed or forbidden opinions on this forum.
I don’t see where I am making any such list, unless you mean “list” in a weird way that doesn’t involve any actual lists, or even things that are kind of like lists.
in any meaningful sense, undertake to unilaterally decide anything w.r.t. correctness of views and positions.
I don’t think that’s an accurate description of DSL, indeed it appears to me that what the de-facto list of the kind of policy you have chosen is is pretty predictable (and IMO does not result in particular good outcomes). Just because you have some other people make the choices doesn’t change the predictability of the actual outcome, or who is responsible for it.
I already made the obvious point that of course, in some sense, I/we will define what is OK on LessWrong via some procedural way. You can dislike the way I/we do it.
There is definitely no “fundamentally at odds”, there is a difference in opinion about what works here, which you and me have already spent hundreds of hours trying to resolve, and we seem unlikely to resolve right now. Just making more comments stating that “I am wrong” in big words will not make that happen faster (or more likely to happen at all).
