My impression from the outset was that Eliezer and Robin were posting very different sorts of stuff, not having much to do with each other. It was two blogs shoehorned into one. The question for me is not why did they split, but why were they ever together?
Hm.That sounds like something of an 'insider bias' where you see differences that are less obvious to the casual reader.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
