So you say, Horizon Wars should be started? Preemptive strikes against any not FAI programmer or organization out there?

Sweet!

Yeah, sweet! Because nothing says "we deserve to make decisions about the future of humanity, and possibly of life in the universe" like murdering one's ideological enemies, does it? That is not the kind of thing one should even joke about.

It is not a joke, it is an observation of the possible OP intent.

I agree, he should delete the post.

The "Sweet!" made it appear as if you either endorsed that view or found it humorous rather than disturbing.

The last thing I want is a sectarian war between various research groups and organizations.

Religious wars of the past and present could be dwarfed by that. And even if not, bad enough.
