The template XiXiDu used to contact the AI researchers seemed respectful and not at all belittling. I haven't read the interviews themselves yet, but just looking at the one with Brandon Rohrer, his comment

This is an entertaining survey. I appreciate the specificity with which you've worded some of the questions. I don't have a defensible or scientific answer to any of the questions, but I've included some answers below that are wild-ass guesses. You got some good and thoughtful responses. I've been enjoying reading them. Thanks for compiling them.

doesn't sound like he feels belittled by XiXiDu.

Also, I perceived your question as tension-starter, because whatever XiXiDu's faults or virtues, he does seem to respect the opinion of non-LW-researchers more than the average LW-member. I'm not here that often, but I assume that if I noticed that, somebody with a substantially higher Karma would have also noticed that. That makes me think there is a chance that your question wasn't meant as a serious inquiry, but as an attack - which XiXiDu answered to in kind.

And you're complaining about people's belittling attitude, while you call them "idiots" and say stuff like "They have probably thought about everything you know long before you and dismissed it"?

Sure. The first comment was a mirror image of his style to show him how it is like when others act the way he does. The second comment was a direct counterstrike against him attacking me and along the lines of what your scriptures teach.
