Ignoring the request to go meta in the direction you went:
Look, Eliezer obviously pattern-matches too harshly when it comes to group selection (recent example). That appears to be the root problem here. What is the best way to solve that problem?
Well, we tried heavy downvoting there, do you think it'll work? ;)
But in any case, it seems the problem is the lack of a policy for resolving edit disagreements. When it becomes possible for some minor aspect of Eliezer's way of thinking to be referred to as "the root" of what's blown up as a whole policy issue, something is wrong.
It's beginning to look like the problem isn't the lack of a policy but the policy of having a lack of policies.
I think you're handling it rather well already. Downvotes and polite but clear public criticism. :)
