I have only been aware of this label for the last seven or eight months. On the other hand, I first met some Libertarians several years ago, but I don’t know if those that designated themselves as such (at that time) were using the term correctly. Perhaps that could be a discussion for a latter date as I am interested in exploring the various flavours of Libertarianism and AC, both in theory ...

His hyper-active speech and the way he peppered it with irrelevant and dumb analogies sort of turned me off but the minarchist was by far the dumber one.

I was never deeply involved in FDR but I was self-indoctrinated by what seems to be the 'mother philosophy' of Molyneux which is Rand's Objectivism. FDR appealed to me for a while but I became lonely and alienated from excommunicating/defooing people from my life for no good reason. In my opinion Molyneux has developed the Randian tradition of excommunication to a new level of weirdness. This is confusing to me because Molyneux is apparently a Rothbardian; ...

Hello, everyone. I'm a long-time student of ideas and an enthusiastic advocate of Ludwig von Mises's core ideas on the methodology of economics and social science. For some time now, I've been visiting the Mises Institute's web resources, and have even attempted to connect with various people on the chat room they have there. One thing I like about the Liberating Minds forum is that the participants appear relatively kind and laid back. This is in direct contrast to the more confrontational ...

About me, I've been a socialist as a teenager, then cynical for a while, and started my way to libertarianism about a couple or triple years ago.

Ironically it was that recommendation that led me back to the Freedomain Radio website. I read all the critical comments here, and the whole thing was just too dramatic for me not to get sucked back in. But I'm banned now, so that's all over with. I wrote a scathing review of Universally Preferably Behavior, or at least the first ten pages of it, and Stefan decided that I was a disruptive influence. Check it out.

I think I still am considered a member. The reason I have not been active in quite a while on Stef's boards has more to do with the fact that his site is now blocked where I work than anything else. I think it has been over a year since I have posted anything (or downloaded a new FDR podcast). I was (and probably still am) a premium member. I donated quite a lot of dinero to his cause.
