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.

This is simply false. I can defend my ideas very easily. However, I chose not to engage with kleinbl00 because of his tone, his words, and his utter lack of civility and otherwise antisocial behavior.

Moreover, even if I weren't able to defend my ideas, we have to ask the question of what kind of community are we encouraging when the mentally strong are allowed to verbally bully and attempt to intimidate the weak into submission?

Someone may be wrong, but that, in my opinion, is never a reason to be disrespectful, intolerant, or bigoted.

Again. You put forth an argument. I dismantled it. You have since spent 1500 words declaring me to be a meanie. And now apparently I'm "bigoted."

THAT is deserving of an apology.
