@Shouperfluous — You don’t understand the meaning of “direct refutation”.
An actual direct refutation of THE CLAIM would be a quote from Yudkowsky to the effect that “my decision to censor mention/discussion of Roko’s basilisk was in no way motivated by emotional reactions from members of ‘the rationalist community’ including but not limited to nervous breakdowns and nightmares.’
You might infer a refutation to the THE CLAIM from the above-linked post but your inference is not a “direct refutation”.
My response is a direct refutation of THE CLAIM, in that Yudkowsky explains the rational for the prohibition.
