That has absolutely nothing to do with it. I don't bother with, say,
Lorrey and Dees because Dees isn't a leading transhumanist and Lorrey
isn't likely to stop arguing just because I ask politely; there's no
prospect that intervention would help, and no need. If two of
transhumanism's top PR experts wind up refusing never to speak to each
other, that's a tragedy. If Max More and Greg Burch somehow managed to
start fighting on a public email list, I'd wade into that too.
