No secret. It is on the Extropy-chat subscription page.

"We welcome innovative discussions pertaining to scientific,
technological, philosophical, artistic, economic, and social
perspectives on the future."

As I remember it the formation of Extropy-chat was caused by a

Much clever flaming occurred. Some insults were so good that the
recipient did not even realize that they had been insulted.  ;)

That is why the List Rules have a pretty wide classification of bad behaviour.
