I look at what the Liberty Forum is, and I see almost an example of demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. I believe if most people were to be shown that site and be told "this is a microcosm of what liberty is like", they would be forever repelled by the idea of liberty.
I wonder if they would allow me to participate on their forum - if I remained civil (of course).

I'll bet not.

It's just Liberty for the select few.

Actually, they might.

But if you had a website with a whole lot of traffic that they thought should be listening to them instead, they wouldn't respect your right to do with your own property what you see fit.

Because, you see, you would be denying everyone the liberty to use your property as they see fit. It is the decomposition of private property, masquerading collective tyranny as individual liberty.

There is no liberty without private property rights. Those who do not respect property rights are the enemies of liberty.

After lurking over at LF(Lunatic Fringe), I found that peculiar also. You have to go through a selection process over there. If I were to submit my FR screen name I bet you I would be blackballed.

Anyway if they did "accept" me, which I highly doubt, I would consider posting over there as a day at the zoo, watching the animals go crazy.

JMO, but LF seems to be more of a cyber fraternity, but I am not surprised since some people never seem to grow up.
