I think it’s important information for people considering engaging with or taking communication advice from Nate to know that there has been a long history of people having a range of difficult to unpleasant to harmful experiences engaging with him. My knowledge of this is mostly from my former role as research manager at MIRI and the cases I heard about were all in a professional setting.
The e/acc person’s description is similar to descriptions I heard from these other cases.
Personal note—given lesswrong is specifically about speaking all truths including the uncomfortable, I find it disappointing to see comment deletion happen in a situation like this.
Thanks for highlighting this Alex.
