Off the top of mine, Lana Wachowski.
Cloud Atlas is my favorite movie ever and I recommend it to anyone reading this. In fact, it is my opinion that it is one of the most important pieces of early 21st century art.
The downvote is however not for your bad taste in movies, but for intentionally misgendering Lana. More generally, you can consider it payback for your efforts to make Less Wrong an unwelcoming place. I care about this community, and you are doing your best to break it.
At this stage, I call for an IP ban.
Given that Eugine very likely will be able to get around an IP ban, I wonder if it is legally possible for MIRI to take out a restraining order that prevents him from posting to Less Wrong? This will of course only be possible if we can discover his real identity.
That would be an absurd overreaction. I can't see the law taking the matter seriously, even if anyone knew "Eugine's" real identity.
Don't be silly.
Please explain. Do you believe that it is legally impossible, or that it is possible, but it shouldn't be done for some other reasons...?
All of the above. Really, think about the issue for 30 seconds.
Downvoted. I personally agree that username2's idea is naive, but it seems sincerely held, and making fun of it instead of explaining its problems is dickish.
Unfortunately, I do not possess your capability of determining the sincerity of the poster on the basis of one short comment on the 'net.
Obviously stupid ideas are obviously stupid. Sincerity doesn't help them, anyway.
Listen, the right way to go here is what Vaniver is trying to do (and ultimately do a whitelist for posters, not a blacklist).
Our good friend EY moved to fb groups for partly this reason, I think.
a) I don't think that would be taken seriously by the law and b) I don't WANT things like that to be in the jurisdiction of the law.
Before trying to invoke the law it might make sense for a moderator to ask Eugine for a Skype chat.
As expected, my karma fell by 38 points and my "positive percentage" fell from 97% to 92% shortly after leaving this comment
Cloud Atlas is my second favourite movie, after Master and Commander.
I find myself confused because Metacritic believes Sense8 (63/8.1) was better than Jupiter Ascending (45/4.5), whereas I would argue the latter is more compelling. V for Vendetta (62/7.3) also doesn't seem to deserve its mediocre scores.
Let me know when you make it to the end of the sentence in gjm's comment that I quoted.
