Well, yes, of course.
That's why I wrote what I did, it's all well and good to worry about
people linking their pages to transhumanist pages, but it would be an
entirely different thing should they join en masse and take over such
organisations.
Of course, should the extropian movement get swamped by, say, neonazis,
how could you tell that this was an attempted hijacking versus a bunch
of neonazis joining by coincidence? Those behind it would see a
pattern, but to everyone not in the know it's just some new people with
some rather aggro ideas. Luckily enough, I think the numbers are with
the nice people long-term I don't see it as a problem.
