CitationNeeded, thanks for that link. I'm not sure how clear it is that these several commenters are the same person, but i can see why you'd be suspicious. Interesting that most of mormon2's early comments were upvoted, until recently he adopts this hostile tone. And rereading the "question of rationality", mormon2 remains belligerent in the response, so i'm inclined to agree with wedrifid's "juvenile rationalization" conclusion.
So, i understand dismissing mormon2 specifically, even if i think that listening-to-arguments-from-possibly-unfriendly-commenters is generally worth thinking about. I'm thinking that i may have given him too much benefit of the doubt, but stopped clock, twice a day, i suppose.
The nearby deleted comment clearly speculated that i'm mormon2 as well. I'm not, though it feels a bit silly to have to say so.
It looks like i've accidentally derailed this thread. Sorry about that. Well, as CitationNeeded originally suggested, commence with the collectively asking Eliezer for clear straight answers of inadequately answered questions.
Hi RNO, welcome to lesswrong. Congratulations on, well, not being mormon2 and please pardon me for affirming the suggestion.
To the extent that people are interested in how Eliezer believes his rationality work relates to his 'save the world' gig, the perfect place to ask questions is the ask Eliezer questions page. Naturally, the 'Eliezer has not been subpoenaed' caveat still applies.
Indecently, any word on when Eliezer is likely to make that presentation?
