So by exercising property rights on his own forum, he doesn't think he is a libertarian anymore?

What is down is up, and what is up is down in Mssr. Poe's world, or lets cut to the chase: Mssr. Poe does not know the first thing about liberty.

FYI, Richard Poe writes for FrontpageMagazine David Horowitz's website.

How Forums Are Being Taken Over By Pro-Arab Groups, Who Flood The Forums With Hate Propaganda

Palestine Report has ax to grind w/ FR Website

[Catspaw]

Well, it looks like those trolls from Stormfront and the National Alliance have found a home.

[AppyPappy]

LF is very hard to read. Many of the replies are simply pointers for other people to follow rather than comments. Much like a bump on FR but occupy more real estate.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Well, whodathiunk it? You mean that allowing a stream of anarchist types to take over a message board crowds out and runs off the normal ones?

"It does get quite ugly at times, but that's the price one pays for sticking to one's principles," writes Mr. Soldo in a subsequent e-mail.

Well, that's the problem with folks whose philosophy relies on the fundamental assumption that people will be self-policing.

Instead of a nice, free-wheeling give and take (such as we enjoy here at FR), the inability or unwillingness to call bad-actors to account causes the sort of thing Mr. Poe describes -- turning the asylum over to the inmates.

[Truth666]

a playground for non-libertarian "fringe types" to "run amok."
Come on these "fringe types" pass the same media as the main stream mass media - the difference is similar to soft porno and hardcore.
BTW, using Jews as scapegoats is an old tactic - used to by the common ancestors to start WWII (Chamberlain, Daladier, hitler & Co.)

Good lord Jackson! Your thread "Attack of the Nazi Trolls: A Lesson for Message Board Moderators"; -- is being Attacked by FR's Nazi Trolls!

[LittleJoe]

My take on this is that Free Republic is a forum for conservative activists, whereas Liberty Forum is a free for all.

I get mighty suspiciuos when someone calls for moderation of any forum. It works here because Jim uses common sense instead of a heavy hand, to keep it on a constructive conservative track.

Newsmax had a popular free for all forum until the moderator wars destroyed it. I think the people at Liberty are keeping that in mind.

[Richard Kimball]

bump for later

[Aurelius]

I post over at LF. (This forum has become a little too bien pensant for me, so I rarely frequent it). Take it from me, that that guy Richard Poe is full of bs.

[Frunabulax]

Oh boy & goodie gumdrops! Yet another "free speech" BBS! Have the 12 year old potty mouths discovered it yet? How about the deviated preverts? This should be good for a few laughs.

[yonif]

Ping.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Liberaterianism was tried and discarded as impossible a long time ago. That era is recorded in history as the stone age.

[cinFLA]

This forum is a libertarian forum, and is devoted to the libertarian concept of unabashed free speech.

Same here. The Libertarians love to bash Bush and his foreign policies.

[Little Ray]

Thanks for keeping the board free o' trolls!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

That extreme libertarianism ends with extremes is not all that surprising. Just as extreme liberalism ends up as Communism or baggy-trouser-wearing grunge mutts with nose rings on heroin. All those who think you can have a civilized society without Christian morality might want to take note. A society which is a sort of cross between Mad Max and Bladerunner is not exactly one where one should expect a lot of polite conversations over white wine about John Stuart Mill and Adam Smith, as if that would make much sense by that point. I guess they would take comfort in the fact that Mad Max and the skinheads had ample access to condoms.

Communist marxist trolls aren't a problem? Just Nazis? After all, they're all socialists. ;)
