No comment...

1) Many people come here to READ liberty news without having to search for it themselves.

2) The long time members here have very low bull$#@! tolerance towards authoritarianism and are quick to whip those touting policy out of liberty party line.

3) There is a rational fear that making strong anti-state political stances on the net will invoke a SWAT raid.

4) On subjects such as monetary and fiscal policy... most people don't comment because they recognize their own ignorance and prefer not to display it publicly.

5) One can only assume that several of the non-posting logins are state agents keeping tabs on the anarchists.

[Suzanimal]

Wow, according to my poll, people really don't like us. They also don't want me to cyber stalk them.

I just skewed your poll by voting that I'm shy.........

None of the above.
I log in quite often, but rarely post because there is no real exchange of ideas on most threads. It seems like most people are just interested in making some witty comment.
And heaven forbid someone makes a statement that challenges the status quo of the forum they get banned. I don't have any exact examples or linked threads, but I've seen it happen.

Hmm.. 130something guests online and 8 members. I only counted 6 members, two must be in stealth mode. I wonder who they are.

[Ronin Truth]

Because under the 'Law of Large Numbers' and the '80/20 Rule' 80% of all posts and threads MUST come from no more than 20% of the RPF registered folks.

[asurfaholic]

I don't often post because by the time I finish reading the thread I'm done pooping and its time to get up..

Will the never comment folks reply to a thread poll?

Now that's just crazy talk but I probably should've included lizard people.

I think a few did. Most of 'em don't like us, though.

I think it is reflective of society. When they log on and see your posts, they think it is better too just lurk before cocktail hour.

Well, the jokes on them because cocktail hour is tough to pin down around here.

I lurked for two years before I joined and started posting. I was just too lazy to sign up.

I'm noticing lots of new members. Are they all Eduardo or did Bryan have a membership drive?
