You know I really do feel like I am clinging bitterly to my priors and my meta at this point as I joked on twitter recnetly. I knew this was inevitable should our presence ever be noticed by anyone actually important like a journalist. What I didn't know was it would still hurt.

This emotion shows in my reply. Should delete it?

Should delete it?

No. Well, maybe the third paragraph, except that it's part of history now and for that reason should be left alone. But otherwise, both your distancing of MoreRight from LessWrong and Eliezer's distancing of LessWrong from the reactosphere are appropriate and relevant statements of true things.

Clinging bitterly to your priors and your metta sounds like a sign you should update, and that's more important than deleting or not deleting a blog comment. As for your comment, first two paragraphs are fine, perhaps even providing helpful clarification. The sarcasm in the second paragraph is probably unhelpful, though, maybe just edit the comment.

Are you bitter about the journalist or about Eliezer? Would you have written a response just to the journalist?
