It seems to me the occasional crazy idea posted here wouldn't reflect that badly on CFAR and SIAI, if they had a policy of "LW is an open forum and we're not responsible for other people's posts", especially if the bad ideas are heavily voted down and argued against, with the authors often apologizing and withdrawing their own posts.
A crazy idea reflects badly on the ideology that spawned the crazy idea.
If that were true, LessWrong would have such an INCREDIBLY HUGE advantage over most every major religion. LessWrong hasn't managed to raise armies and invade sovereign nations yet, after all.
Thinking in those terms, it makes me strongly suspect anyone turned away by a single bad post is engaging in some VERY motivated cognition, and probably would not have stayed long. (A high noise:signal ratio, on the other hand, would be genuinely damaging)
No one here felt distraught with religion? Not even a little? :)
