That’s not what I said. The bulk of my comment was about snark, smugness, and vanity as opposed to proper decorum. If a commenter shows proper decorum when critiquing a post, I do not object to it, even if the commenter has not written any top-level posts himself.
Anyway, to answer your question: I do not have control over the rules of LessWrong.
If no comments without posts is the outcome you want, why not make it a rule?
