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.]

that tracingwoodgrains dude is admin at themotte, that's a few steps above just carrying water

Open post in private browser window, click profile... Oh, wow, he is.

As for carving out my own little space online where dissent is purged, everyone from Steve Sailer to Zero HP Lovecraft to BAP follows me on Twitter, where I openly and emphatically argue against them.

Dude. Not healthy.

I feel like I should quote some proverb about not mud-wrestling a pig or debating a creationist. This is like going out of your way to make the Nazis feel at home in your neighborhood bar.

themotte assigns user ID, which i suspect are just sequential integers. TW is 103, some other users have their user IDs in low 1000s (3000-5000). he's there for a long time

I had noticed the user ID and figured that they were sequentially-assigned integers, but I hadn't bothered to check what the numbers had gotten up to. I'm seeing a 930, an 1175, a 2327.... So, yeah.
