Yes, a post of this type was just recently made.

Well then.

I've heard that firemen respond to everything not because they actually have to, but because it keeps the drill sharp, so to speak. The same idea may apply to mod action... (in other words, MOAR "POINTLESS" CENSORSHIP)

More seriously, does this policy apply to things like gwern's hypothetical bombing of intel?

It looks as though that was on gwern.net - outside the zone.

If you're talking about his Slowing Moore's Law: Why You Might Want To and How You Would Do It it's not there anymore.

I didn't thoroughly read the new version on his site, so there's a chance that there is now a link to an article that will still be confused for a pro-terrorism piece (that's the problem the previous version had) or sounds like it's advocating the idea of governments attacking chip fabs.

I posted a draft here. A while after the initial discussion, because I had expanded it massively, I deleted the draft version so readers of that post had no choice but to go to the updated master copy. (I also did this for all similar posts like my Melatonin post, for similar reasons.)
