Why do we need all this drama? Why can't the people who don't like Gleb just downvote or ignore him?

First, he puts HuffPo-style posts onto LW which are pretty nauseating.

Second, he hires people -- virtual assistants from the third world -- to get LW accounts and praise him. They mostly post inanities like this for example. There are what, about five of them at the moment?

Third, he wants to be the face of rationality for the unwashed masses. In the unlikely event that this comes to pass, it... would not be optimal :-/

Otherwise I continue to think that he is in dire need of a clue and that he is the clearest example of cargo cult behaviour that I have seen in a while.
