Sorry! HP:MoR = Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, a fanfic by Eliezer Yudkowsky.

This inspired me to start brainstorming a book designed for more logically-minded and less emotionally-conscious people on how to communicate with those who are the other way around. I may at some point try to pick the brains of folks here about that.

I look forward to that! You may want to know that a lot of those communication methodology issues have been talked about (though certainly not exhaustively) in the "Craft and Community" sequence.

It went a long way towards getting me out of a frustrated "oh-god-this-is-hard-and-there-is-so-much-more-to-learn" funk.

Well done! I'm still in that funk with my mando, alas.

I think this is an area where linking to HP:MoR with the text of the link being the term looked for helps Google properly categorize it. Of course, Google mostly ignores forum threads, so the link above probably won't help much.
