"Specialist terminology" like... the word edit?

Not sure writing an encyclopedia is a good hobby for you, bro.

Open post in private browser window, click profile... Oh, wow, he is.

As for carving out my own little space online where dissent is purged, everyone from Steve Sailer to Zero HP Lovecraft to BAP follows me on Twitter, where I openly and emphatically argue against them.

Dude. Not healthy.

I feel like I should quote some proverb about not mud-wrestling a pig or debating a creationist. This is like going out of your way to make the Nazis feel at home in your neighborhood bar.

I love the "uh, you know we can see what you've done" reply.

As Robert Evans put it:

If you are a normal, decent, well-socialized human being, you probably have not heard about Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. Actually explaining what this thing is will have to happen in several different stages. But I should start by telling you this re-write of the first Harry Potter book is around 660,000 words long.

The entire Lord of the Rings series, including The Hobbit, comes in at a little less than 580,000 words.

The audiobook is 67 hours long.

Some of the most obnoxious moments here are when someone dredges up a historical feud and the peanut gallery thinks it’s productive to opine at length on the object level of that feud.

object level

pull back, split screen

While I am not personally a rationalist,

Uh-huh.

Back in my day, we brought home a report card every six to nine weeks. I remain unconvinced that more frequent reporting is actually more informative. More appealing to helicopter parents, certainly, but that's not the same thing.

No worries. I figured it was a typo for "excoriated" or something like that.

The list of diatribes about forum drama that are interesting and edifying for the outsider is not long, and this one is not on it.

I regret to inform you that Trace is hate-reading awful.systems too & has posted this comment on their Twitter.

Their writing is so boring I can't even summon up the enthusiasm to make a "senpai has noticed us" joke.
