NOTE: My brain reacted way to much to the part about crockers rules, so I suspect I might be biased in a sadistic direction, but can't figure out how to compensate for it so I'll just leave that to you.

... Oooh, I remember these posts, as some of my absolute favourites as examples for everyone else (even possibly Eliezer himself) on how to write exiting, easy to understand posts!

... Well drat. But I guess this provides some evidence as well. Or maybe there was some kind of confused multi-directional cascade of attempted bias compensation in my brain that I didn't notice.

Edit: just now my brain made an association between the feeling inspired by your posts and the excitement I get when I'm about to enter a cage fight with some new exiting basilisk. This association could not be reproduced under controlled conditions.

At this point this post looks like nothing more than a verbose event log of my brain, rather than a comment on something.

Futher edit: After reading the rest of the thread I conclude I just have weird taste and my opinion probably shouldn't count.
