I talked to her (I guess she is a devious ArbCoMer); yep, so thats about all I have to say. She mentioned something about my work on Unencyclopedia, which is fairly interesting, since I don't use Unencyclopedia (not that anyone would believe me). Why, just the other day, someone contacted my by Yahoo! to tell me about how David Gerard is stalking them on Unencyclopedia, and I guess the paranoid champ is convinced someone else is me (its not the first time the cabal has ignored the burden of proof); does anyone know anything about this, what am I supposedly doing there?

We must distinguish between Libertarians with a capital L and libertarians with a small l. The latter means either "an advocate of liberty" or "a believer in free will". I am both of the latter, as I expect are many other people here.

In politics, people looove to hijack terms; sadly, Libertarians are not libertarians. Did you know they advocate "no laws" in outer space? Wow, can anyone say, "slave labor on Mars"?

No, a criticism of Libertarians is a valid criticism of Wikipedia; because, it is dominated by Libertarians.
