Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Holy Chrissie Hynde, these people. I started reading the linked threads for kicks, and this *thread*:

How can these people bear to be around each other? Like, what would make any of those people willing to talk to any of the others?
Ha, here's another great comment:

Ah, yes, Red Sox masshole fan forum, that referred to all female fans as "pink hats" (see also pinkhattery, pinkhatting, etc.) defined as baseball no-nothings who didn't care about sports but were hot for Jason Varitek?
Much rational. Very analytic. Wow.
I was also thinking "wait, what would be in it for me to bother going into this amount of querulous detail?"
