WFG gave this reply which was downvoted under the default voting threshold:
I'm also reposting this just in case wfg tries to delete it or modify it later, since I think it's important for everyone to see. Ordinarily I'd consider that a violation of netiquette, but under these here exact circumstances...
Wow, that manages to signal a willingness to use unnecessarily risky tactics, malignancy AND marginal incompetence.
While I do understand that right wing people are naturally the kind of people who bring about increased existential risks, I think my own occasional emails to left wing blogers aren't' that shabby (since that makes me a dirty commie enabler). In fact I email all sorts of blogers with questions and citations to papers they might be interested in.
Muhahahaha.
How does one even estimate something like 0.0001% increase of existential risk out of something like sending an email to a blogger? The error bars on the thing are vast. All you are doing is putting up a giant sign with negative characteristics that will make people want to cooperate with you less.
