A few blogs adopt a model like this, e.g. a "cutting-room floor" thread or whatever. Having it offsite on a reasonably stable site is functionally similar and avoids feeling like one is polluting one's own server with stuff that repulses one.

Well put - this describes my feeling precisely.

This is quite an elegant solution to the whole mess. Good one.

I am very glad to hear you say that. Thank you!

So now we're valuing purity in Haidt's sense?

I was trying to describe how I thought EY felt, and I seem to have been correct. It does strike me as an OK solution - imperfect in many ways, but a large improvement on nothing.

The thread might need renewing from time to time, as I think Reddit threads close after a time. (Can't find a FAQ though.)
