Another month, another rationality quotes thread. The rules are:

Provide sufficient information (URL, title, date, page number, etc.) to enable a reader to find the place where you read the quote, or its original source if available. Do not quote with only a name.
Post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
Do not quote yourself.
Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, HPMoR, Eliezer Yudkowsky, or Robin Hanson. If you'd like to revive an old quote from one of those sources, please do so here.
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.

Given that Eugine very likely will be able to get around an IP ban, I wonder if it is legally possible for MIRI to take out a restraining order that prevents him from posting to Less Wrong? This will of course only be possible if we can discover his real identity.

Before trying to invoke the law it might make sense for a moderator to ask Eugine for a Skype chat.

a) I don't think that would be taken seriously by the law and b) I don't WANT things like that to be in the jurisdiction of the law.

Listen, the right way to go here is what Vaniver is trying to do (and ultimately do a whitelist for posters, not a blacklist). Our good friend EY moved to fb groups for partly this reason, I think.
