All this could have been avoided if you had merely deigned to discuss the wiki post in question with me.
I shouldn’t have to make a discussion post on LessWrong to get your attention.
I believe that we deserve to be treated with respect.
Deleting my comments, then refusing to discuss it, then coming here and saying “I am still dictator” without even enunciating any policy for the wiki, and thinking that’s the end of it, is not treating us with respect.
If the policy is “Eliezer will do whatever he pleases”, I respectfully request that you put that on the home page of the wiki.
If this happened every day, I could understand that you were tired, and weary of the burden of overseeing the wiki. But apparently it’s only happened once in two years.
Furthermore, I’ve contributed about a hundred posts to LessWrong, some of which were good.
I’m not some random newbie who made an account and started editing the Wiki.
I don’t really care about the wiki. It’s about respect. After spending a thousand hours providing content for your website, I’d like to get at least a little.
The context was about editing the wiki. If you have a complaint that stems from editing behavior on the wiki, and it comes to be known that you don’t really care about the wiki, then I don’t need to read any further; I’ve located the problem.
And in general, if you care more about something like respect than doing a good job, then you shouldn’t have that job anymore. Even (especially?) if you were doing it for free. Your ego has no place in our wiki. Well, it has one place.
No, it isn’t that simple.

An excellent argument for PhilGoetz not having any ability to edit the wiki.
An excellent example of taking a quote out of context.
