I think Eliezer is pretty cool. I aso don't think he's immune from criticism, nor do I think he's an inappropriate target of this sort of post.

The problem is that there is no way for anyone to check your claims about the cited thread without closely reading a large amount of contentious discussion of HPMOR and all the parts of HPMOR being talked about, in order to work out who is being wrong on the Internet. Whoever is going to do that?

I never said that determining the sincerity of criticism would be easy. I can step through the argument with links, I'd you'd like!

Your dedication to the cause of discerning who has rightly discerned who has rightly discerned errors in HPMOR greatly exceeds mine. I shall leave it there.
