That explains your behavior. The way it looks to me is that I don't predict this audience very well at all. I admit, I'm lost when it comes to figuring out how to present to you guys. I don't think the problem is my ego. Mostly because I can admit that I can't figure out in advance how LessWrong is going to react. I'll keep your criticisms in mind. Thanks again, Shminux.

P.S. I don't know who downvoted you but I liked that you were being so honest, so I put you back up to zero.

This post is currently tied for eighth most downvoted of all time (-22), while your original post on growing LW is tied for 25th most upvoted post of all time (+49). If you could figure out how to induce those responses at will, you could play us like a yoyo. :-)

Thank you so much for this. It was encouraging. I have decided to do just that - figure out how to present to this audience. (:

Though, I do not plan to write intentionally unpopular posts. (:
