  Yes it is totally irrelevant.  Since we're talking about personal exp.,
  The people who have physically assaulted me were socialist liberals
  and I happen to be Catholic.  What does this prove? NOTHING!!
  yeah, maybe we can try to get away from the infantile argument style
  so many people use on the net.  Where'd you learn it, the 3rd grade
  play ground?  "is too" "is not" what fun!  

  Now see, my last two sentences were quite immature, they're examples.
  Let's try to stamp out this stupidity.

   The error in this statement should be obvious.

   Another error.  Why do you continue making these bigoted and false
   statements?
> advocate "absolute free speech."

  Libertarians and most people agree that you have freedom of speech in
  that no one else has to provide you with a soapbox, magaphone, and
  know one has to listen to or agree with what you say.  The day
  you support the KKK's "right to free speech" on your property, in your
  dwelling, with you footing the bill i'll even say you can be rational
  with your version of freedom of speech.  

  About you getting your passwd pulled: Would you want to foot the bill
  for a weeks worth of your postings, how about Colin Jenkins?  2nd,
  since you post so often you also cost sites a lot of money, would you
  want to pay the 10 grand it takes to post a bunch of Charlie's articles?

  You know very little about libertarians do you?, i suggest you find
  the archives of mod.politics, if there are any, and read them.

   I certainly wouldn't be paranoid enough to see any bigotry in your 
   articles.

   I wont even bother to make a cheap analogy, If i posted the most repulsive
   MCP attack on women that ever existed, say to rec.sf-lovers, and placed a 
   smilie after it i'm sure you would yell and scream.  ( i chose sf-lovers
   becaue it has nothing to do with the topic, the same as most of the 
   newsgroups this "debate" has been posted to. )

   If you want to argue about libertarianism go mail an article to the 
   soc.politics moderator.  Soc.politics is the only place to argue on the
   net.  In talk.politics-misc people just "yell", make wild accusations,
   and infer things into people's postings.

    All questions asked in this article were rhetorical.
