I thought that at LessWrong people would be able to overcome things such as "image management" and "reputation"

For myself (and from what I can tell of some others) I've chosen to accept and incorporate my humanity and the complexity of human social interactions, rather than "overcome", which is hard to distinguish from "denial of reality".

Image management, and especially self-image management, are important and difficult. They're going to color all human interactions, whether you or not you prefer that.
