"I'm going to use Joe as an example of The Bad Thing, but whether or not he actually is an example isn't the real point."
On my meta-level point, do you see how this would rankle a person's basic sense of fairness regardless of how they felt about Joe?
I never claimed whether he was or not wasn't Important. I just didn't focus on that aspect of the argument because it's been discussed at length elsewhere (the reddit thread, for example). And I've repeatedly offered to talk about the object level point if people were interested.
I'm not sure why someone's sense of fairness would be rankled when I directly link to essentially all of the evidence on the matter. It would be different if I was just baldly claiming "Eliezer done screwed up" without supplying any evidence.
