I never said anything like this and I never invoked Eleizer. I don't understand why you're telling me off for something I didn't do. Look at my post history if you don't trust me.

I know you didn't invoke Eliezer, but that is a common statement by people who find themselves downvoted a lot, so I was pre-empting it (if you were not going to do that, I apologise and that sentence should be considered removed from my quote, however the rest still stands). The only reason I said that, was because I looked at your post history and saw this one:

[...] If you look at my user page (http://lesswrong.com/user/911truther) it's blatantly obvious that someone is systematically downvoting everything I post multiple times. I don't claim to be persecuted but clearly there is an attempt to censor me. Frankly it just proves that I'm right, if I was wrong people could easily disprove me.

For the rest:

  • People have been providing links and citations to back up their claims. (Several of the replies in this thread)
  • I wasn't implying that you flamed anyone, just that dissent is part of this website, and it is treated with respect.
  • Dismissing accusation of "troll" with uncheckable and irrelevant claims of rationality is not the right way to do it.
