Had he said something more interesting/germaine than "Hitler was a socialist!" there would have been no problem. It is not Libertarianism per se anyone is complaining about or trying to discourage, that's a convenient oh-so-moral-sounding position for you to take. Lie on the ground groaning "discrimination! discrimination", tugs the right chains, eh? Post some interesting proposal to fund networks or some such thing relating to the future of technology based on a Libertarian view of the future that can manage to be slightly deeper than "Hitler was a socialist!" and I'm sure folks, including myself, would be interested. But just babble slogans having nothing to do with the topic at hand (other than tied by some vague thread of "who pays the bill") and you're just a trite boor, wasting everyone's time and mostly just someone to be ignored. I am disgusted that you encourage his behavior and that you consider Jeff Daiell's postings intellectually fascinating, I would be ashamed to associate myself with such drivel. -Barry Shein, ||Encore||
