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.]

TracingWoodgrains launches a defense of Manifest's controversial reputation, all without betraying a basic understanding of what the word "controversial" means. (forum.effectivealtruism.org)

...And if it weren't for that one joke by Hannibal, Bill Cosby would be very uncontroversial.

TracingWoodgrains was the person who wanted to create 'themotte' but leftwing right?

I genuinely don't know, but I would believe it 100%. He seems like an arrdestiny-esque debate pervert in a reply-guy world. I think a "left wing" motte would suit him

Looked it up, and guess which sub he mods, could be that im thinking of a different guy who came into sneerclub to go 'we should setup some better rational arguments against the Rationalists', which is always quite the waste of time.

Edit: While looking into this, I see that TracingWood was on a podcast with Jesse Singal of all people. (Also talked about, why Keffals is bad or something (I didn't listen, and I don't know that much about what Keffals did or didnt do wrong, but eurgh at Singal talking about trans people, and wow the fans of this podcast are quite transphobic on reddit (protip, that you dislike a transperson (who might even done bad things) is no reason to mock all trans people you shits)))

Until a month ago, TW was the long-time researcher for "Blocked and Reported", the podcast hosted by Katie 'TERF' Herzog and relentless sealion Jesse Singal.

That is correct, it was called TheSchisim.
