Pat - I'll refresh your memory before you endorse any more slanderous
statements:

June 2, 1992
[begin sermon]

    I'm glad to see the outpouring of tolerance for people of
different memely persuasions.  Remember, not ALL Christian memes
are that bad.  They have still retained "Thou shalt not steal",
after all.  :)  This already puts them above leftist humanists.

    Let's make sure that transhumanists, and especially extropians,
gain a reputation for tolerance and friendliness.  <hint! hint!>
We have the tragic example of the intolerant core of the Randian
movement to give us a clue as to what can go wrong.  Intolerant
people simply don't tend to get along with people of other philosophies
and even have trouble with people who are just a hair's breadth away from
believing the same thing (witness the ridiculousness of certain
Randians' intense dislike of libertarians and other advocates of the
free market).
