If, however, you're drunk

Yeah.

If you want to leave this board, but suspect you lack the willpower to do so

I feel like I have a duty before a community that I see massive potential in. To stand up for my values and denounce all the shit I hate here in an articulate, reasoned manner. But I'm very much not up to the task, and this makes me feel frustrated and miserable. And angry at my own impotence in the matter.

It'd be a big amount of work to even call out the most egregious shitty shit here on a regular basis, with some citations and explanations for why I did so. And it feels like people hardly even care.

Can you just write a single big manifesto of why LessWrong is shit, and then link to it all the time?

I'd really prefer he didn't. This practice would make lesswrong worse, not better.
