aw, he still thinks ad hominem is cute
you should respect norm-violating lesswrong posters more
especially when someone around you goes all "yeah, thank you :D"
spellcheck is so easy you have no excuse
bad grammar is less painful than doesn't-even-care-to-spellcheck

oh, and if you're all "you screwed up by joining two independent clauses with a conjunction and no comma"? that was fucking deliberate (the relevant consistency is "for speechlike writing, i use punctuation to approximate the structure of speech")
you use english painfully poorly . i may be one to eschew standard rules, but i am quite consistent in my own ways and i do know them
specifically, get a spellcheck and be consistent
Eesh, there are certainly people like those two categories, but it's usually used as rather of a false dichotomy. http://www.succeedsocially.com/introversion
What if you know jar A is 80% red and jar B is 0% red, and you know you're looking at one of them, and your confidence that it's A is 0.625? Then you have probability 0.5 that a bead chosen from the jar in front of you is red, but will update upwards with probability 0.625 if you're given the information of which jar you're looking at.
If they say one thing and intend to do another, sure - but if they actually update? That may be bad PR, but I don't think it's undemocratic.
