I really like HPMOR. I joined LessWrong just to discuss HPMOR.
I thought the post lent LessWrong the appearance of a self-absorbed, naval-gazing, hero-worshiping clique. Appearances are important. LessWrong is vulnerable to this image. I was glad to see the post go.
I'll emphasize that the post did not negatively affect my opinion of you. The post would have been fine in the right context. But the impression that this community squees over drunkenly written fanfics of a fanfic because they mention the right memes is bad, and bad in a way I think many people here have a bind spot for.
Out of curiosity, how do you think arbitrary destruction of posts and their comment threads affects the image of lesswrong? And do you think there are any realities that need to be considered as even more important than image?
