unhelpful comment, disregard

I wanted to see a more natural account - an interview style approach of questioning...but published publicly.

Gwern's often in the #lesswrong IRC channel; you could interview him yourself.

would like to be Lesswrong be more exclusionary too

Exclusionary of what? That's a rather important question. I suspect that many exclusionists have something particular they want to exclude.

Well, do it yourself. Contact gwern, see if he is amenable to an interview, ask him your questions. He's a real person who hangs around here on occasion, not a mystical figure in a far-away land.
