Thank you.... but could you clarify your reasoning as to why it would be a "passive-aggressive jab at LW users", when it was perhaps better described as a moderate response to the fact that EY entered the discussion with an openly hostile ad hominem comment that was clearly designed to encourage downvoting? (I assume you did see the insult...?)
Before the ad hominem: minimal downvoting. After: a torrent of downvoting.
And this has happened repeatedly. (By which I mean, the unexpected appearance of an LW heavyweight, who says nothing positive, but only launches a personal insult at me, followed by a sudden change in downvoting patterns).
I did see the insult, but Eliezer (quite rightly) got plenty of downvotes for it. I'm pretty sure that's not the reason you're being rated down.
I myself gave you a downvote because I got a strong impression that you were anthropomorphizing. Note that I did so before reading Eliezer's comment.
I certainly should have explained my reasons after voting, but I was busy and the downvote button seemed convenient. Sorry about that. I'll get started on a detailed response now.
