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.]

OK I misremembered that part. It makes sense that after suffering trillions of losses the Culture would take steps to prevent the Idirans from doing it again.

And by "us" I meant fleshy meatbags, as opposed to Minds. Although in Excession he does raise the issue that there might be "psychotic" Minds. Gray Area's heart(?) is in the right place but it's easy to imagine them becoming a vigilante and pre-emptively nuking an especially annoying civilization.
