I can’t claim that every single person on them is open minded, but those who are not tend to be seen as a problem.
In short again your problem is that actually we’re even openminded towards the closeminded? We’re lenient even towards the strict? Liberal towards the authoritarian?
If you think Wedifrid is letting the side down, tell Wedifird, not me.
What “side” is that? The point is that there are many sides in LessWrong—and I want it to remain so. While you seem to think we ought sing the same tune. He didn’t “let the side down”, because the only side anyone of us speaks is their own.
You on the other hand, just assumed there’s just a group mind of which wedrifid is just a representative instance. And so felt free to insult all of us as a “cult”.
“My problem is that when I point out someone is close minded, that is seen as a problem on my part, and not on theirs.”
Next time don’t feel the need to insult me when you point out wedrifid’s close minded-ness. And yes, you did insult me, don’t insult (again) both our intelligences by pretending that you didn’t.
Tell Wedifrid.
He didn’t insult me, you did.
“Have you heard he expression “protesteth too much” ?”
Yes, I’ve heard lots of different ways of making the target of an unjust insult seem blameworthy somehow.

Tell Wedifrid. He has explictly stated that my contributions are somehow unacceptable.
I pointed out that Wedifrid is assuming that.
