Yeah but would they ever admit they were wrong about things they published themselves? Are they open to criticism they didn't come up with themselves?
I feel (but gut feeling, I'm just an internet commenter / shitposter that doesn't have the time or inclination to fully engage with these people) that the bigger rationalist bloggers all stand on a tall soapbox, broadcast something, then disappear into their own head again.

IMO it seems to happen more often than in most other online communities
