I wouldn't have downvoted it in isolation, but it seemed to me that, taking his other activity today into account, sam0345 was basically trolling. My habit is just to downvote that stuff until it goes away. Maybe the line between relatively high-quality trolling and needlessly inflammatory dissent is blurry...but are we really short on Brave Truth-Tellers here on LW? I submit we are not.
(Pretty short on black people, though.)
That just sounds self-congratulatory applause-lights. What's your evidence for this claim?
I read "Brave Truth-Tellers" as a slightly sarcastic way of saying "contrarians", which we've got plenty of.
Quite.
No we don't.
Oh no, not at all, I meant it more like "Oh LW, you so crazy!" I believe we are very, very contrarian here; stating unpopular beliefs is a form of showing off (see The Irrationality Game). I am not sure what quantifiable evidence I can offer of that, but I'm far from the first to make the observation.
