    What threat, Lee? As I wrote above, I was speaking to Greg as a "would-be
    political consultant." I'm interesting in helping him, not hurting him.

    I could be wrong, but its my general impression that our fellow extropians
    do not approve of any restraints on free speech beyond that of restraining
    blatant ad homimen attacks.

    If two or more people want to beat their heads against the wall for weeks
    and weeks about some fine point of war politics, then by all means we should
    let them. Neither Greg nor you nor I have the omniscience necessary to know
    which topics ought or ought not to be pursued to the very end.
