I think that's the big idea. Asimov had great insights in his 1979 book, Extraterrestrial Civilizations, about how first generation stars and starts near the galactic centre were likely to be devoid of life. I think that if you combine that with a healthy dose of Rare Earth Theory, you can grow to love the idea that humanity could have first mover advantage.
We have a Facebook group for someone we lost, and out of hundreds of people who have left posts, not one has been offensive. I assume that this is because unlike Slashdot, Facebook doesn't have an Anonymous Coward option.
