It seems that some from the Stormfront White
Nationalist Community are reading the extropians list
and passing that information around.

(FYI, only.) >

So? I would hate to think that I was being judged by
the criteria of who read - or referenced - my posts.
The Libertarian movement, especially the LP, got into
the mode, by the mid-'70's, of self-censoring to avoid
offending the mainstream. You can see where it got
them.

Truth is not a product of censorship, and any
popularity gained from trying to be PC (and I note in
passing that this is one of the criticisms that these
Neo-NAZI's have against extropians - one which I
share, but that doesn't make me a neo-NAZI (not with
three long-term black girl friends over the years, one
of whom I should have stuck with - damn-it)) will be
lost in the long term when serious people realize that
you lack credibility.

I do suggest that Extropians take a look at the site
that Amara found. If you thought that your enemies
were all so stupid and ignorant that you could safely
ignore them, this might be a good wake-up call. You
might even find some other good links there - besides
the one to Extropy. And, of course, if you can throw
some intellectual monkey wrenches into their memetic
system, more power to you.

BTW, just started reading THE BOOK. I mean, of
course, J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye." I
suspect that there is a virus or something in the ink,
so that, as you're holding it, your finger slowly
becomes inflamed and itchy. I've noticed that it
seems to be twitching all by itself now. Anybody want
anyone assassinated? Just kidding...
