Those who have been reading LessWrong in the last couple of weeks will have little difficulty recognizing the poster of the following.

I'm having difficulty recognizing the poster of the following, and searching individual phrases is only turning up this comment. While I approve of making broad points about Dark Arts, I'm worried that you're doing so with a parable rather than an anecdote, which is a practice I disapprove of.

I'm guessing that RichardKennaway means this post and the related open thread.

I couldn't figure it out, either-- the good news is that someone who's so vague has a reasonable chance of being so boring as to be forgettable.

I'm fairly certain that the user RK is referring to was deleted from the site.

EDIT: But I am wrong! He wrote a post that got deleted, and I got confused.
