But there are other issues here, the big meta-issue being that downvotes don't help me distinguish between people thinking the posts were completely off-topic for Lesswrong vs. not liking how finely they were broken up vs. me not realizing what a hot-button issue obesity is for some people vs. other things.

I find it interesting that you refused to mention the possibility of people finding your argument essentially fallacious, despite both myself and Eliezer mentioning this in our replies to your last post, specifically here, here, here, here, here, and here.

I'm just going to point you to my reply to Eliezer, and the fact that many of your own comments have been downvoted into the negatives.
