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.]

If the only solution you see is the antisocial one

I doubt they think punching Nazis is pro-social

their problem with punching nazis is how many of their friends would take objection to suddenly being punched mid-conversation
