flip-flop on "Challenges" coda, again?!?

After pulling the trigger on posting something yesterday and getting a
fighty comment from Tail, I feel more alive than I have in months of
not-publishing. This makes me lean (again) towards publishing without
the coda. Maybe counsel is right that I'm being too timid—optimizing
for me having permssion to have said the thing, rather than being
heard. I had thought, then (though I may have been lying to myself),
that the solution was to finish the Whole Dumb Story first, so that I
could feel comfortable attacking.

But I don't think that's the right way for me to finish healing. I
think I need to pull the trigger on publishing something, and
finishing up the object-level is the right place to start.

it) can just be a long comment on the Less Wrong linkpost version.

Then it can be optimized as an explanation why my robot cultists
should care—the main post attacks Yudkowsky's performance, but the
comment can tone the aggression down a bit (needs much editing from

explanation of bad faith and the nearest-unblocked strategy game is
something I think they need to hear, and explaining the game here

Dumb Story (of my gender and language war against the so-called
"rationalists" over the last five years) in the final section of the
post so I can get it out of my system and move on with my life, but
ultimately, that feels reckless.

In order to actually get it out of system, I need to do the Whole Dumb
Story right, rather than tacked on to an object-level post criticism
...

Or maybe my real problem is that I'm being pretty seriously hampered
by my cult hero-worship psychology. There might be a way of dealing
with that?

good) are much more compelling than "cutting dick off" flamebait.
