I feel that I am getting the short end of the stick here, the shaft so to speak. The Mods seem to be against me so I  wanted to take it to the people do you feel that:

1)I 'm an asshole. 
2)Every topic I enter, I  start an argument thinly disguised as an attempt to explore the issue further. 
3)I don't add to a discussion, I detract from it. 
4)I should change my posting style. 
5)I am a troll?
6)Should I be banned.

Just wanted to see what the other users feel, please don't hold back, I'm an adult and can handle it.

LOL - this isn't quite what I meant by asking if we should set up a thread to discuss your libertarian capitalism versus my libertarian socialism versus more moderate views!

I find your way of tackling an argument infuriating and I never know if you are deliberately asking questions to get a rise or for genuine reasons.  I guess its more your style and what can be at times an ultra-defensive reaction that may irritate people sometimes.  And it doesn't help that your self-proclaimed Objectivism/Randroidism is to many a rather noxious ideology.  No offence, but I do sometimes get the impression you may have a form of Aspergers syndrom.  I'm not saying that to be mean or anything, it's purely just an impression I get sometimes, based on my own experiences with people with it.

1) Everyone's an asshole.
2) Can't tell.
3) Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
4) Yes, after a fashion.
5) Perhaps.
6) I don't think so; generally disagree with bannings.

I just want to be clear that I don't know this guy from Adam, and I am not belittling Aspergers syndrome.  It's just an impression I have.  But then, I tend to think most Randroids have it...

None of the above...you speak your mind, don't try and hold back and are consistent in your arguments.  

To get along with the mods you just need to either agree wholeheartedly with them or grow a set of boobs.  lol

Please set up the libertarian "show down"...I'll be right there with ya arguing against the commie.  Smiley

LOL - At least I know I'll be outgunned, but I look forward to it either way.  I'll leave you guys to make the first move then...  Can we get an Alamo or OK Corral emoticom for it? Battle

Galt, you're gonna need to get an anarcho-capitalist avatar then I guess.  Black and gold to my red and black.  Bwahahaha.  I'll get my armour piercing Marxist missiles and Bakunin bullets ready...  Remember though, this isn't just about libcap versus libsoc, I'm expecting the centrists to jump in to make it more interesting too.

Wow. And they used to say _I_ played the victim! You got me beat there!

Anyway, as I've said repeatedly, and as has been ignored repeatedly by you, it's the fact that you constantly talk about wanting debate, yet never engage in it. You misdirect, deflect, obfuscate, mislead and evade. You refuse to answer questions, then denounce people for not debating. You attack, then play the victim. You ignore any valid point that contradict yours.
Your recent complaint about me is about your attempt to start a whole new argument that no one made. You've done that several times, rewriting people's words, intents and motivations, twisting words to argue points that weren't made. And this is your recourse when called on it? To wail 'why are they picking on me?

This promises to be a hoot of a thread..... (grabs popcorn).

1. No you're not an asshole. As long as your family loves you, who cares what we think?  Yes
2.I wouldn't go that far, we're all here to explore, debate, and enlighten
3. You have the tendency to draw up some really bizarre analogies to aid your argument, some of which are not relevant or just bad examples. Also, you seem to not read sometimes what is said, I mean REALLY read it and take it in before responding. In the Portuguese thread for example, you asked repetitive questions that were answered over and over, to the point that most people just disregarded the thread. Only UE and I were crazy enough to keep going back and forth with you.
4. I'd agree with CD, in that the nature of some of your questions makes me wonder if you're being serious, or just saying stuff to get a reaction.
5. I don't know, are you?
6. Nay, it's not that serious.

Galt is kind of like a lie detector test....he will ask the same question many different ways (or the same way ) and hope you contradict yourself.
