I'm not sure whether or not Melody Maxim should count. She isn't anti-cryonics, but is thoroughly disgusted with the cryonics organizations that exist today- which seems strongly relevant for anyone deciding whether or not to sign up, but not for anyone interested in theoretical probabilities.

Now that the blog has been made private, could you provide a summary of her claims?

It would have been much easier before the blog was made private! (Looking around, apparently that happened over a year ago.)

I think this will give a better impression than one that I can build from my memory. The basic takeaway I recall was that, to a cryomedical technician, the cryonics culture looked like one of wishful thinking, incompetence, and corruption.

It looks like Melody is still posting on LW, though infrequently.
