Consequences including you being sure to make discussing politics here 
extra painful on purpose?  Or do I misunderstand your disclaimer 
levels?  Is this a determinably self-fulfilling prophecy?  If so then I 
refuse the manipulation.  If not then I am opposed to the suggestion.  
This is the chat list.  It is open to all kinds of stuff some 
extropians find important.  Some of us value that openness.  We don't 
generally value coercive manipulation.
