This sort of behavior is really inappropriate. Lee Corbin wrote a rather
thoughtful email that was really an interesting question regarding
the behavior of human beings with both logical and emotional stimuli that
was rather interesting and rather relevent to Extropianism. Calling the
question irrelevent and taking off once more on a tirade about why you
think the war is wrong is unproductive to say the least. It is one thing
to have a discussion about the merits of this war on this list, it is
another to subvert other discussions on this list for your own ends.
