Indeed you have, and you've been well rewarded, with 24,000+ karma points and a full-time position at SI (with EY himself begging for money to pay you in a promoted LW post -- I'll bet that felt good!). What you haven't earned, however, is the right to ignore people without their being offended. (The only person who might conceivably have that level of status is EY, and I think even that is debatable.)
The impression I think you give is one of writing all this great LW material, but then being "too busy" with your high-status SI work to read people's comments on it. Surely you can see how that comes across.
I reply to many comments but certainly not all. I can't respond to all my critics, and it's probably unwise to do so. I'm also sympathetic to thomblake's comment on this discussion:
To be clear, my comment pertained to reading others' comments, not necessarily replying to them.
I would also like to stress that, while I am not sympathetic to thomblake's comment (I could hardly be expected to be, since he effectively labeled a comment of mine "nonsense"), I have not voiced any complaint about the underlying subject (proof of minicamp effectiveness), and should not be confused with Silas. (This isn't to say that I don't think he has a point also; but I emphatically do not consider myself to have participated in any "trolling".)
I entered the discussion because of the "Olympus" issue, which I had noticed in other contexts and had considered bringing up before. (Evidently I am not the only one, because my comment on the matter has -- against all expectations of mine -- been voted up into the 20s.)
"The impression I think you give is one of writing all this great LW material, but then being "too busy" with your high-status SI work to read people's comments on it. Surely you can see how that comes across."
LOL. If one does form that impression from Luke's posts I would suggest that you:
1.) Don't be so sensitive and get a life beyond obssessing over blog comments. 2.) Realize that people who actually get things done usually don't make responding to blog posts a high or even medium priority in life. Seriously, most people with productive lives don't have time to obssess over blogs.
Appreciate the good content, criticize the points worth criticizing and try not to cry about the minor points and the fact that someone doesn't respond.
To be fair the reference class should be bloggers, not productive people in general.
