The people being slandered here aren't just strangers on the internet - they are people I know. If I see them being misrepresented then of course I am going to object. I spent a week taking classes from Geoff and he most certainly has studied (and researched) psychology. Yet his company is portrayed here in the role of uneducated. And then, by way of justification, you say:
I most certainly am going to make accusations about that because it just isn't ok. You don't go around misrepresenting the qualifications and credibility Leverage Research just because you have an issue with the Singularity Institute.
There's only one way I was able to interpret XiXiDu's top comment (the one you link to), and that was as a satire of responses to his many previous questions about SIAI. I can't read it as a slander against Leverage at all. To me, this thread is roughly equivalent to attacking Jonathan Swift for his policy of baby-eating.
