Did the REAL E. Shaun Russell actually write this biting reply??? ; ) Or was it penned by his nefarious alternate universe twin with the "Evil Kirk" goatee?

I am in total shock right now!! I wince at the very thought of you putting together your own chart on Eliezer's cherished ideas!

And you don't want to mess with Eliezer... Remember how he got with Eugene Leitl(and he was just being encouraged by Eugene)! I now see the following code being written by Eliezer for his seed AI:

>E. Shaun Russell ported into very unpleasant pocket universe for a certain duration

It will be next to the long ago written code...

>John Grigg ported into very unpleasant pocket universe
for all time!

I love you guys(really)!,

O monstrous world! Take note, take note, O world,
To be direct and honest is not safe.
