The relevant aspects are so bad that I really don't want to think about it. I know it is akrasia because it's pretty obvious. Discussing details, apart from being unpleasant, also damages my perceived status. Sorry for being too vague. I only wanted to stress that akrasia can easily expand to the meta-level, once you know about it.

The status part can be worked around by using a throwaway account.

Unless it's akrasia that involves generating throwaway accounts on LW. :)
