Ajay, there is no such blog; re-read the part directly after the cut. I took an excerpt from a Less Wrong post, changed it to the third person, and invented a plausible outside source for it, in order to make a point about our reactions to outside criticism versus critiques from within the group.
The linked post was, of course, quite interesting in its own right, if you want to look through that thread.
I got confused, too. I think I interpreted it to mean that the Kass acolyte was criticizing KS, but you hadn't included the quote; so I stopped reading and started scanning for a link to the source.

Do lots of articles play games with the cut? It probably would have been clearer to me if I'd read it with the cut. Maybe you could imitate the effect with an HR tag?
OK, good point— I've edited to make it much less ambiguous. I recall another article or two playing with deceit above the cut, and then revealing the trick below, but it's difficult to find them.
