Uhm...

So you wrote how you perceive some recent conflict on Slack. I wasn't there. You don't provide quotes or anything specific. All I know is that you are angry and blame other people. What specific reaction did you expect here, and why?

Just saying that from a perspective of a person who wasn't there, Elo's description sounds much more plausible. Like, "not being specific and not being clear" matches what I see here. Anyway...

Considering that this is your first contribution on LW (the website), you just wasted an opportunity to make a good (or even neutral) first impression.

However, if you just make a new account and try again (on this website, not Slack), I believe no one would bother checking whether it is the same person or not, so if you are actually interested in talking about rationality, this is an option.

Thank you. Your comments are noted.

The slack is a private group and there is some cultural fit needed for a gated community. This was at least the third flare up with you and I addressed each one when they happened. I received pressure for not being more strict.

Highlights:

• not being specific and not being clear
• occasionally appending "only an idiot would say that" to your statements
• trying to ask manipulative questions as a gotcha to catch me out. I refused to answer without being specific and I repeated the question so that I could not be caught saying two things that were similar (and close) but different.
• Taking offense at me refusing to be manipulated by vague questions and trying to tell me off.
• talking about identity politics and pushing an agenda. And explicitly stating so. Then telling me I was wrong to not be pushing an agenda (I was sitting on fences)
• not being willing to read parts of the sequences that were directly linked to explain what was going wrong with the discussion when we had different priors and could not find a starting point.

If you can change all these and be collaborative to truth seeking, you can come back in a year. Just pm me. Until then you can learn in other forums all over the internet.

I don't owe you this explanation but I give this freely.

LessWrong is not the place for this sort of complaint, hence the downvotes (including mine).

Note that while the Slack channel has a similar name, it is an independent entity run by Elo, and doesn't have the same moderation team.
