I would also say that nobody here has come even remotely close to "insult in every conceivable way" as an operating mode.

Although I must admit I was tempted take it up as a novel challenge just to demonstrate how absurd the hyperbole was.

Returning to this... if you're still tempted, I'd love to see your take on it. Feel free to use me as a target if that helps your creativity, though I'm highly unlikely to take anything you say in this mode seriously. (That said, using a hypothetical third party would likely be emotionally easier.)

Unrelatedly: were you the person who had the script that sorts and display's all of a user's comments? I've changed computers since being handed that pointer and seem to have misplaced the pointer.

No, that'd be Wei Dai, I think; eg. I recently used http://www.ibiblio.org/weidai/lesswrong_user.php?u=Eliezer_Yudkowsky to point out that Eliezer has more than one negative comment (contra the cult leader accusation).
