Why isn't this thread in the outreach thread?

Outreach thread is for stuff that does not have potential for good discussion, but is just about successful outreach. I posted this here because it seems like it had potential for an interesting discussion.

Did you expect another reaction in the karma that the post received?

Hard to say how representative that karma is, considering that Eugene Neir is involved.

I don't think it makes sense to blame all lowly voted posts on Eugine. I don't also remember Eugine being involved in the discussion about InIn, so I don't see it as a his fight.

In his persona as VoiceOfRa and Azathoth123 and The_Lion, he was heavily involved with criticizing InIn-related posts. Heck, he even tried to wipe the Intentional Insights wiki entry.

Okay, I stand corrected on that point.

Still the post is at -11 while most of the post on which Eugine voted don't get that many downvotes. If the post had 13 downvotes and 2 upvotes and 3 upvotes are from Eugine that would still mean that the LW community doesn't really appreciate it.

Ok, good point, I will update on that.

He got involved in two of Gleb's posts, both of which got heavier-than-normal downvoting.
