I heard it and I don't think it's "wise" to defer to Eliezer's judgment on the matter. I stopped discussing this stuff on LW for a different reason: I feel LW is Eliezer's site and I'd better follow his requests here.
EY might have a disproportionately high influence on us and our future. In this case I believe it is appropriate not to grant him certain rights, i.e. constrain his protection from criticism. He still has the option to ban people, further explain himself or just ignore it. But just censoring something that is by definition highly important and not stating any reasons for it makes me highly suspicious. Even more so if I'm told not to pursue this issue any further in the manner of a sacred truth you are not supposed to know.
Sorry, I didn't mean to misrepresent consensus. Will edit shortly.
To be clear: I do have a lot of complaints with how this was and is being handled.
My intent is for other to not keep digging for the reasons I did, because I now think my reasons were not sufficient, given the reasons I had not to.
