I can't talk about other people reacting to you that way, but I can talk about me. My point is, I have zero qualms with your math qualifications, desire to help people, certain philosophical beliefs, or whatever. Moreover, I have zero qualms with you saying you're better than other people, because everybody secretly thinks they are better than other people. That's not the point, people (or at least I personally) have problems with completely different things, and you seem to not get it completely, no matter how people try to explain that.

The problem is: you infer completely wrong things from people's feedback, and that even might be the reason of your previous suicidal tendencies. I don't know how many times you need to be reminded, but LWers are OK (completely!) with you being smart in math, or having original insight, or even coming across as feeling superior.

We read frigging Yudkowsky after all! The guy works on arcane mathy subjects, wrote a shitload of articles, constantly advocates socially weird beliefs (and even accuses other people and society of being weird themselves!), and sometimes uses phraseology that can be construed as smugness and superiority. And let's be honest: even if you're better than him at math (I can't judge), Yudkowsky is bigger than you. He created LessWrong, and who the hell are you?

Yet I have zero problems with Yudkowsky. My point is: I wrote my first comment to you not because I'm upset with your actual achievements or the way you present them.

See, that's the first thing you inferred wrong. I'm not upset. You're just some guy, who failed massively at social communication, so I wanted to point it out, but I was unsuccessful. I'll try again. I'll post some random opinions that you really need to ponder on before dismissing them out of hand.

• People don't owe you shit. They don't owe you steelmanning, open-mindedness, inquisitiveness, or anything.
• It's not for you to decide, what is the most optimal way of spending time for other people, so saying “you have better things to do” is unproductive.
• Trying to decide what should people be doing and whom they should be will only yield F word.
• Beware of other-optimizing.
• Nobody cares about you, your intentions, your achievements, your personality, your childhood or anything like that. That's not a sad thing, nobody cares about me either, I don't worry about that.
• Nobody cares that you just wasted X hours writing up an article. If people find unhelpful or troublesome in any way, they have a right to complain in comment section.
• You're not important.
• There are no arbitrary social rules like “If I spent X hours/Joules writing this article, you should spend same X hours/Joules writing your criticism for me to take you seriously”
• If you know that people are massively irrational and instead of adapting and optimizing you complain and congratulate yourself how reasonable you are, you're not rational, period.
• Finally: if you think people are being unconstructive, obtuse, unreasonable, wasting your time, wasting their time, generally behaving in the way you don't like, you always have a right and possibility to just ignore them. Seriously.

You said in another comment that you're willing to read good-intentioned criticism with great interest. Here it is. I can elaborate any point. Oh, and Crocker's rules, you can tell me whatever the hell you want.
