Nobody said the babies are the property of Less Wrong. But they are presumably part of the community.

No they aren't? Babies aren't too interested or capable of increasing their rationality. or making decisions.

I believe at least one of us has a deep misapprehension of what a community is.

While I found chaosmosis' comment slightly ill formed I agree that their proposed wording is better than the original wording, which just sounded off to me.

I wouldn't describe a baby as a LWer on the basis of their parents' affiliation any more than I would describe them as a Christian, a Democrat, or a heterosexual.
