Mostly, the internet publishers simply culled newspapers articles together that brought some forgotten angle to the forefront to be exposed to light.

It made for interesting reading anyway and provided a radical world view to keep the place lively.

There was even the case of some crazy guy, Leo Wanta who was saying the weirdest stuff in a Wisconsin courtroom that received national exposure on FR.

The conspiracy rantors came and went all the time but the community at large stayed together. While I appreciate your point of view--far more than you care for my crack-pot world view, right?-- if only because it's unique in its radical centrism, its not exactly the best point of view for a conservative libertarian website.

I don't understand your point re: "There's nothing un-libertarian about respecting property rights" in relation to my post. Poe suggested that he is not sure whether he is still a libertarian; my point is that his line does not make any sense if he is at the present time considering himself a libertarian.

I may have misunderstood So by exercising property rights on his own forum, he doesn't think he is a libertarian anymore? . I took you to mean that Poe had effectively abandoned libertarinism (and I don’t know if he’s a libertarian to begin with), by enforcing his right, as owner of the site, to control content.
