It was more upvoted than your concomitant post yesterday. As of now this post has 50 upvotes, against 19 upvotes in yours.

The topic is highly controversial, therefore it has a lot more votes altogether, upwards or downwards.

To only let in Main topics that are uncontroversial is a highly radical move IMHO. It is also mildly authoritarian. I say this despite my profound happiness with your sniper policy back in the SL4 days in 2004-2005.

Editing before the comment below goes under:

And that is not in any way because I want to challenge Eliezer or something. For all I know, Eliezer has the highest probability of being among the three most counterfactually important people alive (Contenders being Hanson, Bostrom, Gates, Thiel, James Martin, Musk and Myrvold). I've once even gave a presentation with deliberate intent of being less good than someone else's, just so that Eliezer would appreciate and interact with the other person (they still work together/aligned to this day) because I knew how important his attention was.

If you go to Mr Ifey story (Idealized Fiction of Eliezer Yudkowky) in this post,

you'll see that besides physically threatening me or my dears with a blade, there is nearly nothing Eliezer could ever do that would make me not like him. People have trouble with his arrogance, which was by far what I most enjoyed back at SL4 in 2004.
