Yudkowsky writes without modesty and doesn't mind seeming arrogant. This doesn't particularly bug me; in fact I kind of like it - I think he's a fascinating guy. But a lot of people find his writing style intolerable, and he has a disproportionate number of antifans.

Enemies. Adversaries? Anti-fans? Really?

  They aren't enemies in the same way a fan isn't a friend. I would say "antifan" describes a distinct thing.

    ...critic?

      Actually, "antifan" is the right word here. "Don't care/know enough to criticize", and "don't hate enough to be an enemy", but simply think he's overrated.
