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.
