I know some basilisks, yes. Although, there is nothing I regard as actually dangerous. However, sharing things like this publicly is considered bad etiquette on LessWrong.

If it's not dangerous, how does it constitute a hazard?

Can you send me yours? Please PM me here or on IRC. I already know the most famous one here.

I tried to rot13 my previous discussion and was only mocked. The attitude towards basilisks seems to be one of glib reassurance.

Not just glib reassurance. There is also the outright mockery of those who advocate taking (the known pseudo-examples of) them seriously.

I can't imagine that anyone is advocating taking them seriously.
