I noted that they are involved in using distributed computing
for SETI and chasing cancer cures etc. I guessed they were
pretty small beer but I don't really know.
Free speech seems overpriced on occasion. I wouldn't
worry though. I don't know you that well and the nature
of the piece doesn't exactly come across as balanced.
You've lots of room for deniability if you want it. The
piece states you don't consider yourself an Extropian
but your followers are :-)
Play this write and it can spin to your favour imo.
