I don't really have much to say here, since I'm not affiliated with MIRI, but I'd just like to say that I am genuinely impressed by this attempt at reconciliation. I do think that much of what you have previously written is/was uncharitable toward MIRI and EY, especially some of the more egregious quote-mining you've done, but this post has caused me to significantly revise my probability estimate of you deliberately engaging in character assassination downward. Now I think it's more likely that you simply mentioned some (perceived) shortcomings of MIRI/LW, possibly phrased your criticisms a bit too aggressively, received negative feedback, and then it all just escalated from there. (I was not around in 2010, so obviously the specifics are unavailable to me and this is just conjecture.) I have now positively updated my opinion of you.
