Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

I am not familiar with either hams nor electronic musicians, but being peripherally involved in photography and reading about other hobbies has led me to the unscientific conclusion that this is a Guy Thing.

(It's possible the same tendency is present in hobbies that are traditionally female-coded, in which case it's human)
