    Thumbs down

    Hate to have to be the one to point out the obvious, but...

    banning sock puppet accounts on a libertarian message board is kind of hypocritical, no?

    I thought the libertarian motto is to punish behaviour which directly infringes on other's liberty...
    not to punish behaviour which we dislike or has the probability to be problematic.

    Its almost as bad as banning driving while on your cell phone.

    Besides... in the digital world of IP spoofing and persona management... how would you ever know?

    I have no problem with and kind of like sock puppets... some people learn (and some educate) more proficiently from reading a [spoofed] dialogue than they do reading a well cited single player argument.

    but yessa massa, me be keepin me socks on me feet,

    Property owners set the rules of conduct on their property. The owners of this forum are in line with libertarian thought to the extent that they recognize this. If someone came into your store and broke every reasonable and/or explicit rule, wouldn't you throw them out?

    I made the point that searching via the "new posts" function. It is helpful to have a second account for that. The forum times out, and if you don't read all the new posts (need to do something else, etc.), then a second account comes in handy.

    I think some people deliberately confuse the rules made by property owners, whose only real "punishment" is eviction from the property, and laws, where punishment is much more severe and usually not related at all to what was done.

    You really are free to start your own forums. Other folks have, in fact, gone on to do just that. I can't think of any that have no moderators, though, or usernames or accounts in some sense.

    No matter what your talents, someone here could use your help to campaign or to develop a great new idea. It's up to you whether you decide to sit on the sidelines instead.
