You're mistaking what I said for something personal. Which might me my doing by all means, since my low respect for the general tea party libertarian is hard to hide.
This doesn't mean that I resent the whole libertarian movement or don't see different schools from within it.
You did sound an awful lot like whining. And I was harsh. I'm not going to apologize because you "agreed with me on some points" as you say, because a discussion is not a trade treaty, but I will apologize for treating you as any tiresome libertarian apologist, which you may or may not be.
In any case, it's not pleasure to me to insult you, and you didn't deserve it from what you wrote, so I'm sorry about the tone and wording, if not the content. And I really do have some thoughts on how libertarians can turn the tea party hoopla to their advantage without becoming complete republicans. I've drafted some points which I'll post here or elsewhere and notify you, and then you can choose to read it or ignore it.
