The productive friction between the OP and the comments makes me feel something I can only call hopefulness.
This is my specialty! Lots of upvotes, almost entirely negative comments. :)
Really? I find it quite annoying, but mostly because it's endemic of the problem on LW of many, many more people complaining about the useful content produced by others than actually producing useful content.
I think the comments are useful content. Belief updating is largely a product of dialogue. As long as LW's epistemic standards remain high, the comments will be just as much a stab in the direction of truth as the OP.
