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.]

Show me a long-time English Wikipedia editor who hasn't broken the rules. Since WP is editable text and most of us have permission to alter most pages, rule violations aren't set in stone and don't have to be punished harshly; often, it's good enough to be told that what you did was wrong and that your edits will be reverted.

NSFW: When you bring this sort of argument to the table, you're making it obvious that you've never been a Wikipedian. That's not a bad thing, but it does mean that you're going to get talked down to; even if your question was in good faith, you could have answered it yourself by lurking amongst the culture being critiqued.
