Precisely. Your post has been recognized as a feeble attempt on your part to usurp JR's authority as founder of this forum to support your own agenda. IMHO, JR's authority on this forum is not an issue open to debate. His authority is absolute, and rightly so. This is his forum and he has the absolute right and authority to moderate content of forum discussion in any manner he sees fit. If he should awake tomorrow and decide he wants to change and limit the mission of FreeRepublic to the care and maintenance of saltwater aquaria and exotic fish, it is his right to do so. (I doubt that he'd do such a thing, and it'd make an awful lot of FReepers extremely unhappy, but I don't question his right to do so if he chooses.)
This is illustrative of the "narcissistic irresponsibility" I referred to earlier. Libertarians typically lack the self-restraint to respectfully concede to our host the authority that is rightly his. Furthermore, his opinions ARE NOT YOURS to be cavalierly brandished as a magic potion to ward off political criticism of libertarian philosophy. JR is not shy in expressing his own opinion as he sees fit. You should respect his right to do so rather than attempting to employ his authority as your own.

What a weird opinion. JR established a RLC forum at FR, and posted their position. -- I AGREE with the RLC position, and JR's concept for a new forum.
You see an attempt to usurp? Bizarre.

I argue with JR on some of the fine points of his enforcment of his posting guidelines. Many of us do. - So what?

I don't question his ownership authority. I question guideline usage and how fairly they are enforced. - Again, you generalize about 'libertarians'.

You are simply going off the deep end, willie. Nothing like that is happening. - Get help for your delusions.

Sure willie.
As you say, JR is not shy, and if I did ANYthing like you imagine, he would ban me in a flash. Getta grip.
