I would point out that there are some on this forum who regularly tout their belief in UFOs and aliens...

When you see anyone who chooses the name of a comic book superhero alien, who comes onto a bulletin board that promotes social, fiscal, political, and religiously conservative opinions - who professes their belief in atheism and "capital L" Libertarianism, who denies social conservatism, and who posts opinions ridiculing others for having social, fiscal, political, and religiously conservative beliefs - the same beliefs that said bulletin board agrees with and promotes, mind you - ping me.

Why? Because as you said in post #12 above:

"...as for being snarky and cynical...why not? Some beliefs deserve to be mocked".

...who professes their belief in atheism

To say otherwise would be a lie.

and "capital L" Libertarianism,

Incorrect. "small L". I don't vote Libertarian because a) they can't win at the national level and b) they're isolationists who advocate cutting defense spending to an unacceptably low level.

who denies social conservatism,

I certainly deny that I'm a social conservative. And why not? It's true, after all.

and who posts opinions ridiculing others for having social, fiscal, political, and religiously conservative beliefs

If by "political" you mean defense and foreign policy, that's certainly not the case, nor is fiscal. As for social and religious beliefs, I will certainly mock certain absurdities such as creationism or faith healing now and then, but I try to restrict my attacks to the actual belief, not the person themselves. I don't always succeed, but no one's perfect...

The irony abounds......
