What happened is that (1) I felt my effort being punished, and then (2) I sent an email to Nickolai or Kamil asking them to fix X.

I've noticed (while being such a minion) that when making such change requests yourself manage to do so with a frame that minimises a criticism vibe or 'effort punishment' feelings. I would pay many, many M&Ms for that effort in careful phrasing.

Great work Nickolai or Kamil, if either of you read lesswrong at all. The website is a much needed improvement! ;)

Thank you for toughing it out.

I'm sorry if my comments were too harsh.
