Here's the creator of Ycombinator echoing your sentiments on a twitter post just now, haha: https://saidit.net/s/SocialMedia/comments/5d26/heres_a_little_known_fact_about_the_history_of_y/

Wait, did PG make the pyramid of debate specifically as a way to deal with problems he was having with moderation? Is that how you found it?

I don't know why he made it, and I didn't find out he was the one who made it until years after saidit was made. So it was all rather circumstantial in a roundabout way

How did you find it? Was it something you already happened to like when you were thinking of what rules you thought would be good? Or were you looking for a solution to something when you found it?

I found it like 3 years before saidit, in a comment someone left on reddit, and I just thought it was extremely well done and a great idea as just a debate concept. Then a few years later I was thinking of how to design saidit's rules and I thought of the pyramid one day, and the rest is history. I had no idea at the time it had anything to do with another forum, or anything. I thought it was just some academic concept I had stumbled upon

Saidit does have direct messaging. Click my username, then on the right sidebar click "send message". But you can ask it here or there, whichever is fine
