  My reference was to that specific article, not to any of his past
  articles.   He said:

#I DON'T decide WHO has property rights. That may be the burning
#issue in your mind, but not mine.
 
   Implying that the general or theoretical issue of property
   rights was not important to him 
                                    ...and then saying...

#I ASSERT that my property is my property and that no one has
#the right to take it without my permission.
     ^^^^^
   ...implying that the question of *his* property rights 
   WAS important to him.   Which is what I meant when I said 
   " In other words, Phil doesn't care WHO has property rights
   as long as HE has property rights. "       Perhaps a bit 
   obscure which is why I included the underline ("^^^^"), 
   which you left out of your quote.
