It makes me look like even more of a troublemaker...

How so? I've just reread some of your comments on your now deleted post. It looks like you honestly tried to get the SIAI to put safeguards into CEV. Given that the idea spread to many people by now, don't you think it would be acceptably to discuss the matter before one or more people take it serious or even consider to implement it deliberately?

I don't think it is a good idea to discuss it. I think that the costs outweigh the benefits. The costs are very big. Benefits marginal.
