I’m for vetting a membership simply because this is such an important site to its members and staff. I know it takes a lot of extra work, and that essentially costs money/time which are always in short supply. However, that’s the cost of a free-for-all Internet, unfortunately. It, like governments everywhere, would probably be best served by a benevolent and wise dictatorship, but that’s not going to happen. There are wolves in this world, Rezwan. Don’t let them undo this for their own purposes, if any. The “social consequences” are less good for those who profit from the energy or scientific status quo. They would have reason to try to delay or interrupt a real R&D program like this if they feared the consequences.
