Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

The diaeresis does have an actual grammatical purpose: to break up digraphs into their separate sounds, indicating, for example, that the “oo” in “cooperate” isn’t a single vowel like the one in “loop”. Though given that English doesn’t have an “eo” digraph that produces one vowel sound, “preöccupied” is just ignorant peacockery.
The Heavy Metal Umlaut, meanwhile, stands outside of grammar and doesn’t care for it. To challenge it because “Moteurhead” sounds like a silly name for a metal band is to miss the point.
Cooperate as in turn someone into a barrel maker.
