This also seems like an excessively hostile way of disagreeing!
It is unfortunate that the one word on your comment that you gave emphasis to is the one word that invalidates it (rather than being a mere subjective disagreement). Since I have already been quite clear that I consider fubarobfusco's comment to be both epistemically flawed and an unacceptable violation of lesswrong's (or at very least my) ideals you ought to be able to predict that this would make me dismiss you as merely supporting toxic behavior. It means that the full weight of the grandparent comment applies to you, with additional emphasis given that you are persisting despite the redundant explanation.
Sorry
Wedrifid writing 'Sorry' in response to fubarobfusco's behavior---or anything else involving untenable misrepresentations of the words of another---would have been disingenuous. Moreover anyone who is remotely familiar with wedrifid would interpret him making that particular political move in that context as passive-aggressive dissembling... and would have been entirely correct in doing so.
Part of my point was that your words are not nearly as clear as you think they are. Merely telling people your words are clear doesn't make people understand them.
I probably won't respond further because this conversation quickly became frustrating for me.
New proposed censorship policy:
Any post or comment which advocates or 'asks about' violence against sufficiently identifiable real people or groups (as opposed to aliens or hypothetical people on trolley tracks) may be deleted, along with replies that also contain the info necessary to visualize violence against real people.
Reason: Talking about such violence makes that violence more probable, and makes LW look bad; and numerous message boards across the Earth censor discussion of various subtypes of proposed criminal activity without anything bad happening to them.
More generally: Posts or comments advocating or 'asking about' violation of laws that are actually enforced against middle-class people (e.g., kidnapping, not anti-marijuana laws) may at the admins' option be censored on the grounds that it makes LW look bad and that anyone talking about a proposed crime on the Internet fails forever as a criminal (i.e., even if a proposed conspiratorial crime were in fact good, there would still be net negative expected utility from talking about it on the Internet; if it's a bad idea, promoting it conceptually by discussing it is also a bad idea; therefore and in full generality this is a low-value form of discussion).
This is not a poll, but I am asking in advance if anyone has non-obvious consequences they want to point out or policy considerations they would like to raise. In other words, the form of this discussion is not 'Do you like this?' - you probably have a different cost function from people who are held responsible for how LW looks as a whole - but rather, 'Are there any predictable consequences we didn't think of that you would like to point out, and possibly bet on with us if there's a good way to settle the bet?'
Yes, a post of this type was just recently made. I will not link to it, since this censorship policy implies that it will shortly be deleted, and reproducing the info necessary to say who was hypothetically targeted and why would be against the policy.
