Nice sleight of hand again, but the examples you are referring to were clearly the ones in this comment, which contained actual examples of precisely the thing you were claiming takes place.
But now you conveniently pretend you were referring to an earlier comment, which did not provide any such examples but was just gesturing broadly to Gwern’s comment history to make a point about its quality.
And even if you had been referring to that comment (again, implausible), it would still be sleight of hand, because that comment wasn’t written in response to me, and you had not given examples to me in any reasonable sense.
You are clearly profoundly dishonest, and you are clearly only in this for the sake of one-upmanship. Again, reddit-tier engagement (although even redditors are rarely as bad as this)
I rather think that I know best what I was referring to, thank you.

False. That comment linked to a specific comment thread and identified three specific comments.
that comment wasn’t written in response to me
Indeed, in accordance with a point which I have made many times, including directly in response to you, in this very discussion, that comments on a public discussion forum are often written as a one-to-many communication, not a one-to-one missive.
I rather think that I know best what I was referring to, thank you
Indeed, which is why I am confident in claiming that you are lying outright and not merely making a mistake.
False. That comment linked to a specific comment thread and identified three specific comments.
Three comments which constitute a single work and therefore only a single example of your point, and a dubious one at that, but I am getting tired of calling out what appears to be an endless stream of attempts at one-upmanship. On some level, you know exactly what you are doing, or it would not be possible for your behaviour to be so goal-oriented towards it. You know that, too. I suppose your modus operandi is that if you can win this asinine contest of one-upmanship, it justifies you in completely setting aside any critique of what it reveals about your character (that you have the soul of a Redditor)
Many such cases. You fit the stereotype to a T. Do you know that?
