If you take the worst case scenario, that were not alone, and the only reason nobodys picking up the phone is that by doing so, then they alert their presence to whatever galactic super predator everybodys hiding from.

Do you think there will come a time when we legitimately have to think about shutting down SETI/METI because of the threat of a potential enemy civilisation? Although unlikely, the consequence of this scenario being true could wipe us out. In which case wed be better off staying off the grid and out of sight.

Or is the genie out of the bottle now and its too late so we might as well just keep transmitting?
