Certainly not if the group is created in the sci hierarchy, as per the
modified proposal.  At this time, the proper venue for any discussion
of the above is alt.postmodern.  If you are confident of the objective
value possessed by your claim to epistemic entitlement, which would
appear to be wholly incompatible with any sort of allegiance to the
unholy trio, then by all means feel free to cross-post in a more
reputable venue.
