I'm sure they too think they think rational and constructive.

Your alternatives are wise and clever. They sound sensible and should be taken into
consideration if the ExI board should ever feel it was reasonable to react to
"Stormfront's" approach to transhumanism.
But I honestly think that a simple list with - I don`t know - 200+? names and "Jew"
printed behind them
and - pleaze, Eliezer - don`t step aside :-)
would be an additional preventive *step `n` stop*, showing them in THEIR own restricted
terms that we ARE the enemy. So they might even start flame wars against Extropians
and we might get rid of their ingratiation. Such an action would
come close to a kind of *controlled folly* we execute in order that it might unfold its
effect not on the cerebral cortex but on a lower neural level, which might be
appropriate and just fine for those White Pride jewels of mankind.
