Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

I've wondered if TREACLES might take hold better in the public consciousness.

As a fan of Sir Pterry, it makes me think of apocalypse-fearing dwarves madly digging for sweets.

TESCREAL was chosen, at least in part, because it would be easier to search for. TREACLES matches all sorts of other stuff.
