Thought process: 'Seems like a mistake to ban the post, though I can see how Eliezer might genuinely think the author was using sockpuppets to game the karma system. Wait, this is in Main? What the fuck is wrong with seven people? Or is Will Newsome actually nuts enough to use sockpuppets and lie about it?'

Not in Main, sorry for the confusion. I've now fixed the links. (There is a bug in LW software where links to Discussion posts written in the form of links to Main post will show a Discussion post as if it's in Main, instead of redirecting to Discussion, so it depends on the link which subforum a post appears to be from.)

Edit: Submitted bug reports for this problem to the issue tracker: issue 433 and issue 434.
