Apparently, Lots of Libertarians Don't Think Women are People Either

[paft.livejournal.com]

So The Mercatus, a right-wing think tank, has declared North Dakota -- which recently passed an incredibly restrictive anti-abortion law, one of the free-est of all the fifty states

Once again, we see that when right wing libertarians use the word "liberty," they're using their own extra-special definition of it. As Salon has pointed out reproductive freedom apparently isn't even entered into the calculations,

Women, you see, just don't count.

Again, I'm not really going to debate the aspects of your responses that constitute "trolling" with you. I'm just placing markers to facilitate a subsequent exchange with htpcl, which I expect to happen just as soon as he gets a chance to check his e-mail.

You've exceeded hat trick status on your htpcl links.

[oslo.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here, but - welcome to the 19th level of indentation!

Have you been having bad dreams about Htpcl haunting you or something?

Your taunting is productive, as always.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

I strive to produce things.

[oslo.livejournal.com]

You should strive to produce them well.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

I'll strive to whatever I want, thanks.

She said, poking her tongue out at him and blowing a raspberrie.

She uttered a muted murmur, slapping with a ruler on the edge of the table and tapping her foot rigorously.

Who? I'm not the teacher here.

I'm more like the lady coming over to see why you're unsupervised and politely pointing you over to the kiddies' table.

(frozen comment)

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

But you're totally not the teacher here.

Because that implies actually teaching me something.

[paft.livejournal.com]

Indeed I'm not. That's your bit of fiction, not mine.

I doubt you take your thumbs out of your ears and stop making Nyah Nyah noises long enough to learn much of anything.

I don't doubt that you're unwilling to betray your usual habit of ascribing things to people you barely know.

It's your behavior here I'm talking about. I neither know nor care what you do in the offline world. Act like a 10-year-old, here, and I'll treat you like one.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

For someone who doesn't care, you seem to be too willing to make assumptions about actions that you know nothing about.

I frankly don't care how you treat me.

What is it about your habit of posting empty snark that you feel I should know?

(frozen comment)

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I don't care what you know or don't know. You felt compelled to insert yourself in the middle of my conversation, feel free to stay true to your own habit and assume whatever you like. Maybe I'll feel a little amused for a time.

No kidding. For some reason, luvdovz's attempts to insult me invariably remind me of the awkward competitions kids used to have in middle school, insulting one another in ever-harsher terms.

It's kind of like walking past a loudly territorial toy breed - it's endearing, in a way, to watch.

Because your chasing of Bdj all around the place bordering on obsessive-compulsive behavior, and your repetitive concern about Htpcl coming to smack you for merely uttering something, are not equally, if not even more adorable?

(frozen comment)

[oslo.livejournal.com]

Okay. Well, thanks for sharing. It can be nice sometimes to receive comments that don't call for much in the way of thoughtful response.

Says the guy who evoked the name of someone who's not even in this thread. Over five times.

Do you have a junior high schooler feeding you these attempts at wicked burns?

(frozen comment)

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

No, it's my alter ego waiting for you to make one of your trademark psychoanalyses.

You're fast approaching the line. Step back.
