I don't think you're being downvoted just for criticizing MW or EY. Some of Mitchell Porter's posts criticizing the MW orthodoxy here have been highly upvoted.
You're not being downvoted for criticizing the dominant paradigm. You're being downvoted for gross misunderstanding of the dominant paradigm followed by unwillingness to accept correction.
Also, I personally simply do not want to see a chapter-by-chapter review of Consciousness Explained on LW, and may veto this even if it's not net-downvoted - keeping in mind that while any reader can upvote, only commenters have downvotes to use, and so the fact that this has gotten a number of downvotes is still quite alarming even if some upvotes canceled them out.
Yes, I'm also sorry to see a second part of this. CS is a good book but not worthy of this sort of crawl-over. And if it really were worthy of it, I would want to read it from someone who had finished the book before they started posting.
