It's hardly self-fulfilling. On other forums almost all the avowed libertarians and objectivists have without fail been banned, the only exception is one guy with a blog who finds arguing from S.M. Stirling novels to discuss real-life situations, or alternately George Lucas films, to be a worthwhile endeavour. You are literally the only libertarian I have ever met who sticks to logic, reason, avoids attacking other people's minds/sanity/literacy and can formulate statements without going into Orwellian territory in terms of misuse of words and lies about what was said without ever doing otherwise.

I say "you libertarians" because you are the sole exception to a rule that has otherwise invariably carried over. My usual impression of libertarians is of people who scream that the United Kingdom is totalitarian and needs to be liberated by US bombers blasting its cities to rubble or the kind of argument expressing itself with regular and depressing refrains that I and others who disagree with the avowed champions of "freedom" are either insane, illiterate, liars, or all of the above at once. So congrats for being the only sane one I've ever met and know that in every occasion where I do say it, you're the one excluded from those statements.
