Sorry, I’m confused; for my own education, can you explain why these civility guidelines aren’t epistemically suicidal? Personally, I want people like John Wentworth to comment on my posts to tell me their inferences about my thinking process; moreover, controlling for quality, “unkind” inferences are better, because I learn more from people telling me what I’m doing wrong, than from people telling me what I’m already doing right. What am I missing? Please be unkind.
