Uh maybe it is you who is using "pretzel logic". In your reply #229 you corrected my spelling. You used "force" to do that. That "force" was you correcting my spelling. You could have not been "forceful" in noting my bad spelling, if you had wanted to. I wasn't bothering anybody.

Now you espouse a tenet called "No force, no fraud", if you lived up to that tenet, you would have not used any force. Just like Libertarians tell us that drug users aren't bothering anybody and that no force should be used against them.

IMHO, to truly live up to your ideals as a Libertarian you are going to have to get rid of the tendency to help people.

Why? Helping people should be entirely voluntary. It's not helping if either side is forced into the help, at least if the giver of the help is forced.

Shouldn't you be waiting until someone passes a law to determine wheather or not it's even moral to be complaining about it?
