Winston Churchhill on why the U.S. should have stayed OUT of World War I
"I am so %^&*^ sick of this cult of Ron Paul. The Paulites. What is with these %^&*^ people? Why are there so many of them?" YouTube rant by "TheAmazingAtheist"
"We as a country have lost faith and confidence in freedom." -- Ron Paul
"It can be a challenge to follow the pronouncements of President Trump, as he often seems to change his position on any number of items from week to week, or from day to day, or even from minute to minute." -- Ron Paul
The world is a sick place and there is no better medicine than laughter. I'm doing a shot for that Eddy fella he makes me laugh with and at him. I mean him repping himself with a note of what a handsome gentleman he was is classic! I can imagine standing in front of the mirror doing the same thing. This is some great stuff for my studies on egotisticalization.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. I was expecting a link to the "sock puppet posted" thread. You just gave me a link to his member page.
Edit: I clicked on the recent visitor messages to see if that was the "evidence" you were alluding to. All that I saw was Danke asking for his email address. Which reminds me. I'd like it to. He posted a question to me in a +rep that he gave me a while back and I'd been meaning to get back with him on it. Seriously, mods should let banned members post one final message leaving a forwarding address. This place is starting to suck.

Trav,
In some cases they can make it seem like an idea has much more support and backing than it does. For example the "vote flipping" threads seem to be just one or two guys with 10 accounts talking to themselves, so it add a degree of legitimacy to something that it really shouldn't have.
I can see good reasons for having sock puppets though. I always was fine the the Collins sock puppet among others. I think the rule should only be circumstantially enforced.

Well, the next two weeks are going to be extremely boring without Eduardo.

Okay. I "see" know. They were both named "eduardo". Typically a sockpuppet account is to hide your identity and look like two different people. Looks like he made this account as a form of civil disobedience. Especially seeing the join date:

Anyway, as I said in another thread I long for the days of mod free forums. Sometime when I have time I'll post a brief history of moderation on Internet discussion days from the "good/bad" old days of USENET where moderation was basically impossible to today. It's interesting (and a bit sad) that on a forum dedicated to libertarianism someone hasn't come up with a way to deal with issues of trolling/spam/flamewars etc without going to a hierarchy. I know, I know it's "private property". But it would be nice if this kind of private property was used as an experiment on how to have a vibrant self-organizing self-moderating community. I hear about things like the "Free State Project" or worse "Libertarian floating islands". As it stands there's no way I'd get on one of those things because I'm afraid the benevolent dictator (excuse me "private property owner") would exercise his "right" to throw me overboard whenever he saw fit.

I can't believe Eduardo is banned again. Sheesh.

Yeah. But once all of the roads around my house become privatized the "toll trolls" can tell me I know longer have the right to travel. So then instead of being kicked out of the state I'll become locked in. But I guess as long as the FSP declares that no property owner can declare ownership of airspace I'll still be okay.

Then leave. Honestly, no one is stopping you from leaving. Create your own forums, and see how fast that goes. But no, just sit here and bitch, bitch, bitch, and feel special because the same few keep quoting you, repping you, and agreeing.
I'm not trying to be a bitch here (or maybe I rather am), but you do not have all-seeing eyes on the forum, and can not see the reported PM messages or the reported reputation.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
