memoir: stub out a pt. 8?!—this is retarded

The story was supposed to end with the Eliezerfic fight!

Even as the early 2023 moderation slapfight started escalating, I had
thought it was out-of-scope for the memoir—I was just going to say, "I
got into another slapfight about me being un-collaborative, which is
not interesting enough to summarize." But the persecution of Said is
significant enough that it becomes part of the story, and actually
throws stuff from back in "If Clarity" into new light: previously,
Said only merited one brief mention (in the Vanessa slapfight; I
wasn't even going to mention his role in the Ruby slapfight), and I
was intending to self-censor a bit in order to not attack Ruby and Ray
(who don't seem like "public figures" who are fair game for attack the
way that Yudkowsky and Alexander are). Now, Said's role looks much
more significant in retrospect, Ruby and Ray's psychology seems
important (rather than censorable), there are parallels to explore
between Said's scapegoating and Michael's ... all in all, I'm feeling
that I don't want to publish "If Clarity" onwards until the moderation
fight is resolved—but that's 25 July at the earliest!

In light of this development, I think I want to polish and publish
just pt. 1–3 (I guess I'm dropping the numbering scheme where "Sexual
Dimorphism" was pt. 1?), "Blanchard's Dangerous Idea" to "Hill of
Validity", and get it out in June—which doesn't mean abandoning the
other parts of the ms., but does mean dropping them from my immediate
publishing target (while the Said situation is still unresolved and I
still have active bad feelings about it).
