Thank you for your defense Jacques, it warms my heart :)
However, I think Lesswrong has been extremely kind to me and continue to be impressed by this site’s discourse norms. If I were to post such a critique in any other online forum, it would have heavily negative karma. Yet, I continue to be upvoted, and the critiques are good-faith! I’m extremely pleased.
I agree it’s true that other forums would engage with even worse norms, but I’m personally happy to keep the bar high and have a high standard for these discussions, regardless of what others do elsewhere. My hope is that we never stop striving for better, especially since, for alignment, the stakes are incredibly higher than most other domains, so we need a higher standard of frankness.
