This post was obviously down rated by Emil Kirkegaard’s followers (he retweeted a screenshot of it to his 28k followers, view his X account). The way he operates is Googling his name to find posts criticial of him, then gets his followers to downrate or leave comments attacking whoever made the post. If those don’t/can’t happen he tries to get the criticism deleted either by reporting or sending legal threats. What frustrates him the most is he cannot get his RationalWiki article taken down.
This would be a good post to disallow voting by very young accounts on. That’s not a complete solution, but it’s something. I’d also consider disallowing voting on older posts by young accounts for similiar reasons.
