This is good. Great many people talk only in terms of what they think they should believe, but not what they behave—this shows what they truly believe.

Thank you. Lesswrong needs more race realism under what ever name.
I will consider your post.
It is a good thing but it does not follow direct from “refining the art of human rationality”. This needs us to examine fearlessly and rationally all questions even uncomfortable, and that follows direct from “refining the art of human rationality”. You are right it does help this to have more varied people here.
I agree. It is not honest intellectually to stop discussion.
All groups fall on a distribution. All groups have high and low. “All whites are better than all blacks” or “all blacks are better than all whites” is wrong and obvious racist.
You are changing topic and dodging answer. Does ESR have “racist material”?

Yes. VDARE is not a hate group. It is politicaly incorrect. This is not racist.
Raymond says Derbyshire uses “racist” ironically. “I think his ‘racism’ is a snook being cocked at bien pensants. He doesn’t think or act like a racist; he’s got a Chinese wife, and he’s not fixated on any racial group being inferior.”
As Raymond says you are conceding the truth to real racists.
Do you call John Derbyshire or Eric S. Raymond racist?
What is a hate group?
I look forward to your work!
But isteve is linked on LessWrong frequently. It is unclear how far you feel the curse by association goes.
Do not put marketing considerations above the rational search for truth.
LessWrong contains material that would upset people taken out of context. (eg. Gwern’s post how to sabotage Intel to slow down unfriendly AI.) I think that this does not make any other article on LessWrong not true.
If I link to Steve Sailer will you be upset as he writes for Vdare?
As GLaDOS knows this is well documented already (in sources that have bias but the facts are good).

Their belief or cowardly is not the problem. We must be concerned about their expected behavior. The rest is a commentary.
