I disagree with your disapproval. While perhaps one wouldn't want to be "harangued", it is entirely appropriate to comment on publicly-available texts, and the open thread here is a perfectly acceptable place to do so.
The emphasis (and hence the use of the word "harangued" over neutral variants like "discussed" or "criticized") was on the inappropriateness of Vaniver's repeated emotional appeals and status attacks against Yvain.
Forum switching is a well-known trolling technique that dates back to Usenet, and indeed possibly further.
It would have been legit if there was a link posted to the blog.
There is one. And no edit marker on the comment. Confused.
Can you point me to it? I control +F'd it for "less", "wrong", and "Vaniver" and found nothing.
I link to Yvain's livejournal from my comment on LW, but I don't link to my comment on LW from a comment on Yvain's livejournal, because I don't have a livejournal account and am not interested in making one.
I didn't look into it very hard (maybe they let you post comments anonymously?) because it wasn't clear to me which option was more polite.
I'm not super opposed to your not posting a link to the livejournal page. I just think it would definitely unquestionably have been legit if you did that, whereas it's about 3% shady the way you did it right now, to give a super rough estimate of the level of shadiness I feel coming off of that.
