Do you have a link to where he did that? I recall reading it, but it was long enough ago that I don't remember the actual reasons, and I'm not finding it quickly.
[Edit] I think this is probably the right comment:
Right, that's the one. I'm no Yvain, but I do have a dozen or so post drafts which I think would be relevant, but they will probably never be completed because of the effort required for "careful referencing / airtight reasoning (as opposed to a sketch of something which isn't exactly true but points to the truth.) " On the other hand, I see sloppy posts in Discussion all the time, and I don't want to post stuff like that, so I am not sure what to do about it.
Some of my favorite posts have been speculation from people like Konkvistador or many of the sequence posts. Not everything needs to be a lukeprog post and I'm kind of sad about his domination of the style.
The neoreactionaries have mostly departed to their own blogosphere feeling unwelcome here, particularly with Yvain's Anti-Reactionary FAQ and EY's explicit repudiation of the concept (based on said FAQ).
Only encourage sketch-posts from people who have proven themselves non-sloppy thinkers, using some high karma threshold (perhaps 10k) as the metric?
