What are you considering as pitching in? That I'm donating as I am, or that I am promoting you, LW and the SIAI all over the web, as I am doing?

You simply seem to take my post as hostile attack rather than the inquiring of someone who happened not to be lucky enough to get a decent education in time.

Eliezer seems to have run your post through some crude heuristic and incorrectly categorized it. While you did make certain errors that many people have observed, I think you deserved a different response.

At least, Eliezer seemingly not realizing that you are a donor means that his treatment of you doesn't represent how he treats donors.

Edit: To his credit, Eliezer apologized and admitted to his perceptual misclassification.
