I saw that coming and I knew it would be you. People are either trolling or part of a dark arts conspiracy.
The comment I wrote is the way I perceived lesswrong when I first came here. And I can tell from conversations with other people that they share that opinion.
A lot of your comments are incredible arrogant and consist of dismissive grandstanding. And on request you rarely explain yourself but merely point out that you don't have to do so.
I wrote the comment so that SI can improve their public relations.
Leverage Research is not SingInst. I have some reservations about their ideas, but they don't overlap at all with the ones you've expressed here. Generalizing complaints you have against SingInst comes across as holding a grudge and misapplying it.
I don't think that's what happened. I think the aim was not to criticise LR at all, but to demonstrate to LW what LW's answers to XiXiDu's questions look like to him, when they're portrayed as coming from somewhere else, somewhere LW is not particularly impressed by.
