Well, next time I see a worthy article that might bring the trolls out of the woodwork, I’ll just start with a request that they not be fed.

Yeah, good idea. It is UNIQUE to threads on libertarianism. Sadly, this very small but very vocal and exceptionally nasty and devious handful of otherwise kindred spirit FReepers I know for a FACT has soured at least two people on Free Republic, so it's anyone's guess as to how many right-leaning patriots have been lost to FR solely because of the vitriol (being accused REPEATEDLY and RELENTLESSLY of purely depraved things such as advocating for child pornography, drug abuse, and open homosexuality) this handful of loons reigns down upon good, moral, God-fearing conservatives who come to FR, participate, and whose honor and decency is profoundly insulted by these self-deceiving self-righteous moral totalitarians.

This means that those of us who donate to the FReepathons are SUBSIDIZING these lying, false-witness-bearing creeps who willfully DECIEVE themselves and others about what small-l libertarian principle represents in America today, in that our donations have to cover for the potential donors who understandably don't want to give money to a forum where they are overwhelmed with insults so foul as to accuse them of complete lack of honor and decency, and of engaging in utter depravity, accusations that at one time would have been settled in duels.

This small handful has the potential of destroying Free Republic, so I can only wish every small-l libertarian Christian conservative FReeper would simply SKIP PAST any post authored by this very tiny minority (on this thread, only five individuals) when the topic is libertarianism (these few FReepers are quite reasonable and "right" on other topics; it is only libertarianism that sets them completely, rabidly, viciously unhinged), and do everything possible to encourage and enlist more new FReepers to find that indeed, small-l libertarianism is something that UNITES most of us, that these dweebs are best IGNORED because they are a minority, not the the bullying faux-majority that simply tries to outshout and insult with despicable lies the level-headed clear majority.
