I'm not convinced your challenge works. Poptimist orgafun may indeed get its energies from like versus dislike, but that doesn't mean it arises from the opinions of the person designing and presenting the orgafun: if it's well designed, it arises from the energetic clash of those taking part. Isn;t what Tom's saying that he enjoys writing pieces which operate to design and presewnt the orgafun, and allow the "players" -- ie his readers -- to explore the energy of their own likes and dislikes, the primary social game of evaluation, without necessarily first testing them against his? (Which are kept understated so as not to skew the game?)
