To single out just one part… I don’t understand the point of
Standard Workday: When writing: 2-3 hours writing then a couple hours off When doing FAI work: 2-3 hours work then break then 2-3 hours with a day off before repeating (During down time math may be studied, did not sound like that happened very much.) Blogging: 1 post per day sometimes 2 posts they do not seem to exceed 12 pages from what I have seen. Source: http://www.youtube.com/user/michaelgrahamrichard#p/u/26/9kI1IxOrJAg
4-6 hours is perfectly normal for authors. This is true whether you look at great scientists like Charles Darwin, or merely ordinary contemporary science/engineering faculty. See the quotes from Ericsson 1993, in ‘The Role of Deliberate Practice’, in http://www.gwern.net/About#fn23

The post stands at −31, which is certainly the lowest score I’ve ever seen here. It’s possible that there have been posts that had lower scores, but if so they were deleted before I saw them.

Fair enough!
(Is −30 a record low score?)
The Popper troll’s post got to −36 before Eliezer removed it in some way that left it available if you knew the URL, but not in recent posts.

Trying not to feed the troll by replying to him directly, but I’m too curious not to ask: why does ve refer to EY as “DMF”?
