I vividly recall wandering into an Open Thread on SSC so many years ago now and seeing those getting the most attention were Bazaar Man and Stephen, the Sailor. What else are you supposed to think except "oh, it's that kind of place"? Kind of this person write a descriptive series of article instead of employing my reaction of simply shuddering in disgust and leaving.
Damn, had missed somebody did an effort ~~post~~ series on all these problems. What I have read so far is pretty good.
- The series is on the sympathetic and charitable side in terms of tone and analysis, but it still gets to most of the major problems, so its probably a good resource for referring to people that want a "serious", "non-sarcastic" dive into the issues with LW and EA.
  
  Edit: Reading this post in particular, it does a good job of not cutting the LWs slack or granting them too much charity. And it has really broken down the factual details in a clear way with illustrative direct quotes from LW.
