I often catch myself using “other Eliezer posts” as the reference class for an Eliezer post, versus “posts in general” as the reference class for everyone else’s posts. That holds you to a much higher standard, especially since I best remember your early Overcoming Bias posts where you were picking off low-hanging fruit. It’s unfair to you and I’m trying to stop it. Anti-kibbitzer doesn’t work here because I go to new posts from the Recent Posts sidebar, plus your writing style’s hard to miss.
That’s generally fine, since I still get information out of which of my posts are being upvoted versus downvoted. I just have to know whether I should consider that signal commensurate with the signals other posts are getting (because if so that implies I should hurry up and finish this arc, then write less). But it sounds like the answer is no, on the whole.

I guess that counts as an upvote.
