This used to be an interesting site for discussing rationality. It was bad enough when certain parties started spamming the discussion channel with woo-woo about the machine Rapture, but now we have a post openly advocating terrorism, and instead of being downvoted to oblivion, it becomes one of the most highly upvoted discussion posts, with a string of approving comments?

I think I'll stick to hanging out on sites where the standard of rationality is a little better. Ciao, folks.

Gwern wouldn't advocate terrorism as a solution; he already has argued that it's ineffective.

If it was effective, it doesn't mean it should be removed. Even more reason it should be known to be at risk.
