Eliezer's explanations of why he considered momon2's post inappropriate did strike me as a little off. My reasoning was along the lines of what you have presented here.
It is worth adding the below to your quotations:
Obviously we don't have examples of criticism of Kompo's rationality but it would surprise me if the above was not accurate. If it was shown not to be the case then that would be an inconsistency. An inconsistency over which I would share your outrage, and then some.
The point is that Eliezer is not komponisto. The precedent has already been set, in part by Eliezer himself, for top-level posts about Eliezer Yudkowsky. Whether it's him showing off his rationality at Thanksgiving dinner, or a humorous post extolling him as a Bayesian god, or a more serious or critical post seems to me to be haggling over the price.
I acknowledge that point, agreeing that Eliezer's explanations were a little off.
