I don't think its that simple, but suit yourself :-)
BTW - I'll assume that the 'you' there is a typo, where 'he' should have
been there.

Second I saw you on the market groups. And yes, I've seen you other places
in the past, this was a quick 'background check' of sorts.

I'm not so much commenting on your argument as I am on your conduct on
Lugnet - as what Lar referred to as '(mildly) antisocial behaviour of
post-sniping.' What I see this as is you coming in and playing devil's
advocate too frequently - sometimes appropriately but more often annoyingly.
Just stirring up debates and ill will in general, which I've gotten from you
before ever reading your and Larry's battles, or knowing that Lar didn't
like you.

That's only fair. But I'm not saying you're wrong on issues, the issues
debate I'm content to watch from the sidelines. But when I see the nature
of your attack on the issues being distruptive even in this debate group,
that's when I jump in, admittedly annoyed, and say hold it.

Who am I to say you and Larry shouldn't talk? By all means, talk talk talk.
No one here is stopping you. But at the same time some of us hold the
opinion that both of you bicker until the bitter end, mill over everything
with a fine toothed comb, and put everyone else off in the process. Not
everyone, but I know a few others who share my feelings. I'm saying that
the nature of your attacks, or questions, on Libertarian viewpoints are
disruptive and unfruitful - and something which I believe only to serve some
greater attack plan of yours in the future. If Larry wants to answer one
point at a time, let him. You've put the burden of proof on him because of
the questions you've asked. Don't expect him to field everything at once or
even barrage him with questions. I see it as poor form, and I'm sure there
are people who are quite irritated by it.
