I agree that there's a big difference between criticizing a community and criticizing an individual.
I agree that you did criticize LessWrong as a community.
I agree that you are an individual.
I did not say that criticizing the community was taken as a personal insult, merely that the people who were insulting and rude to you were frustrated with you.
I doubt that most of our frustration with you is because we treat your criticisms of the community as a personal insult.
I am unsurprised by your conclusions.

I understand that you only chose to be insulting and rude to us because you were frustrated with us.

This is the part I was referring to. I criticized Less Wrong. You interpret this as "being rude to us". This is party politics, plain and simple, where Less Wrong is the party. I did not criticize you nor was I rude to you, so you should not say "us".

OK. Thanks for the clarification.
