I'll take it a step further.
The tactic they're using is trying to get reaction -- of some kind.
Any kind. *Anything* you say, even negative, helps the LSA's primary goal,
which is -- pure and simple -- legitimacy.
Even if you say "we're supporting the LSB", that still means that you've
had to do an evaluation, in effect implying you've considered the LSA as
even in thr league of the LSA.
I urge no response at all. Even if they talk about you they haven't
indicated what they're going to say. What's the point of responding to a
ghost?
The absolute best response to this is no response at all.
