Armok means that he disagrees strongly with Eliezer on Fun Theory, and is/was worried that he would not at all enjoy a eutopia produced by human CEV that everyone else enjoyed. I know Armok means this because I talked to him IRL.
EDIT: pronouns changed from gender-neutral to "he" because apparently gender-neutral pronouns get on some people's nerves. Apologies to anyone I annoyed.
Why did you use such a pronoun in the first case, if you're talking about one specific person whose gender you know?
Presumably they didn't know Armok's gender at the time. (If they did I agree it's silly).
Alternately, perhaps they knew Armok's gender but not whether he'd chosen to disclose it to the group.
Confirming this. Also, I like gender-neutral pronouns and have seen them used on here before--I didn't think it would cause this much argument.
