"Alexander’s plea for civility went unheeded, and Metz and his editor were flooded with angry messages."
Surprise! The rationalist community is made up of human beings after all.
- nullc 6y agoI'm sure they were exceedingly efficient at constructing a convoluted pseudo-logical rational at how their abusive behaviour constituted a "winning" strategy.
- gwern 6y agoAssuming you believe Metz and his editor, and note that "angry" is a pretty milquetoast adjective. Usually when people try to engage in nutpicking, they at least cite death threats, which are a dime a dozen online when people are really angry.
- mcguire 6y agoI'm sure if they did, it's not from real rationalists.
