just a little fun polemic. don't sweat it, nobody's actually offended by that and it gives you a pretty good idea of where he stands in the first sentence. anyway, by their own perceptions libertarians aren't tolerant of coercion by private entities. they probably have a different idea of what coercion means than you do (much of it may be legitimated as 'property' or 'self defense' or 'market forces'), and they believe that what coercion does exist can be mitigated or prevented by private arbitration and contracts backed up by mercenaries.
