>Artifex is upset because he made provocative statements that pushed the discussion beyond his ability to defend himself - and, in a pattern that should be anathema to Libertarian thinking, is now asking for external assistance.
Uh, I think he was just asking for people not to be dicks. My dad and I argue politics all the time at the dinner table, and when he gets his facts wrong or says something idiotic, I don't tell him to "Shut the fuck up." I think you are completely missing his point (trying to miss it?). Furthermore, it seems that simply having an open discussion with the community about the issue instead of asking Hubski to ban people or implement down arrow so the community could ban people is kind of the epitome of a libertarian response, isn't it? You don't seem very well versed in libertarian solutions to conflict, but hey, that's just how you come across to me, no offense.
