I think it's only fair you guys read this.I doubt it'll make much different but here's the chance.
FYI: I won't reply to comments right now.

Near Mutualist/Libertarian Socialist.
Scott F,
You seem to be conflating the ancap position with those who advocate it. Having skimmed most of the 101 few can necessarily follow from the ancap position. Your beef seems to be with certain individuals which seems to be an odd reason for disowning a position.
The atoms tell the atoms so, for I never was or will but atoms forevermore be.
Yours sincerely,
Physiocrat
Scott,
This is a discussion forum. Not a soap-box for self-righteous, condescending preaching. If you are too arrogant to engage in discussion regarding your economically-illiterate diatribes, then you may not post them here.
Viva la Echo chamber huh
You're the one who is precluding discussion, Scott. You can post challenging stuff as much as you please, as long as you're civil and respectful about it, and are willing to discuss, and not just preach.
Nah Scott, you knew this was coming. You kept baiting for it, so no sense in acting surprised you got it. You knew at some point that being anti-social was going to force a change. In the past, we've been slow to give people what they really want, because we let them play it out in order to maintain as much free discourse as we can, but you have clearly said you're not here for discourse, and frankly, this community doesn't exist as a platform for you to post your rants and strawmen.
When you grow up and want to participate in discussions with good faith, assuming you don't get yourself banned between now and then, there will be a spot for you to share and contribute. I hope you can see that your behavior has been counter-productive to libertarian ends.
But then, Scott, if you had anything more to offer than slogans, posturing, and strident moralizing, you'd actually be willing to discuss.
I've been respectful.I've not insulted anyone.As to not replying well I stated I'm not doing that right now -I'm on a break from this stuff- but I will reply at a later date.In the meantime feel free to let the insults rip at me as I know they will.
I like your posts, Scott, even if I don't agree with them at all sometimes.
TAKE IT UP IN MEMBER ISSUES.
Scott F:I'm on a break from this stuff
If you are on a break, why did you start this thread, why did you come up with 101 reasons you're not an ancap and why do you continue to reply?
No one is fooled by this stuff. When you're ready to discuss in good faith, someone will be here waiting for you.
I like the old Scott F.
Freedom has always been the only route to progress.
Scott F:I didn't.I expected hostility but not this.I think less of those Mods here than I did already.
Well if it is any consolation, we don't think a lot of your attitude or behavior either.
Scott F:yet for others it is? Funny how a number of recent deleted posts have been left libertarian in nature.Yes,funny...
Yes, play the persecution card. That's precisely what we have tried to avoid by enabling people, and recently, we decided to stop enabling people who won't stand behind their ideas, but instead want to create a situation where they can claim victimhood.
As far as deleted posts, you don't see how many posts get deleted here in a week, and most of them are not from left-libertarians, although you guys are the only group consistently agitating to get posts deleted and accounts banned aka trolling.
If you don't like how this community runs, you have two options. You can contact the webmaster or you can leave. The choice is always yours.
Scott F:I don't think it has.My piece is controversial and anger but it aims at dialogue.However I don't expect it to come.That much has been proven by me and others numerous times.
How can it aim at dialogue when you claim you won't discuss with anyone here, and you are only here to tell us things?
You refuse to debate in good faith, and you consistently attack strawmen, and then you turn it around and blame others for not talking to you?
LLs are narcissists. You guys spend your time coming over here, posting, then running back to your LL sites to talk about how badly you get treated. And we're all aware you guys do this, so it's not an interesting game anymore. Do you see Danny or I over at the forums of the libertarian-left? Do you see me commenting on the C4SS blog regularly?
Hell no. We're over here trying to make progress with non-libertarians and encourage economic education, we're not running around trying to kick other people's beehives. You guys, and you in particular, are so focused on us, you don't even have time to address the state. How sad. If you think the big evil in this world is ancap or LvMI or me, then you really cannot see the forest from the trees.
Find a better use for your time. For your own sake, respect your own effort enough to apply it to something productive and positive.
