OK, I just spent 10 minutes of my life that I'll never get back clicking around Wikipedia edit histories, and it seems that LessWrongers are really unhappy about the LessWrong article saying anything about neoreactionaries. And they're willing to say why at typical length.

Apologies, I meant I have never disruptively edited the article

"what do you mean keep the music down? it's not that loud"

I was simply trying to improve its quality

"I merely wish you to be on my level? what's that, what level is it? it's mine of course, what a ridiculous question"

I'm not a power user of Wikipedia and don't understand all your specialist terminology so forgive me if I make the odd mistake or faux pas

don't even have a sneer for this. this "oh, oops, totes didn't mean to offend!" shit that these fuckers pull when they get caught out is so goddamn tired. facepunch material.

(it's not even particularly "good" darvo)

Please don't doxx me.

"goooootta make the other people responsible for my own actions! that's the ticket!"

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

Lol how has that user not been banned yet. Clearly somebody with a very specific axe to grind.

And of course the Rationalists start to the things they accuse others of doing. How quickly the pretense of civility disappears.
