First, before having read this post, I found a reference in the welcome thread about someone who joined Less Wrong because they read the article and found it interesting. They didn't reference the article link in their welcome post, which naturally made me curious, and wanted to read it in a "Article? What Article, I don't see a link to an Article." way. I then found a link to the article online, and posted it to my comment here:

You can delete it if you feel necessary, although given the other heavily upvoted objections to doing so from removing it from the original post, you may feel that would not be necessary.

Secondly, is the policy linked somewhere that I just can't find? If it isn't, should it be somewhere like http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/FAQ ? The only link I can find about you and hatchet/tabloid reporting is your article on http://lesswrong.com/lw/uu/why_does_power_corrupt/ where you mention such points as:

There was once an occasion where a reporter wrote about me, and did a hatchet job. It was my first time being reported on, and I was completely blindsided by it. I'd known that reporters sometimes wrote hatchet jobs, but I'd thought that it would require malice—I hadn't begun to imagine that someone might write a hatchet job just because it was a cliche, an easy way to generate a few column inches. So I drew upon my own powers of narration, and wrote an autobiographical story on what it felt like to be reported on for the first time—that horrible feeling of violation. I've never sent that story off anywhere, though it's a fine and short piece of writing as I judge it.
