I assume that either you disagree with the explanations you have encountered, or that you have not read any significant libertarian essays on the subject. By the way, the Chris' post fits the definition of a troll much better than anything I have posted recently, since it was not addressing any points that had been made in the thread so far, did not appear to make any effort to explain the change of subject or make a serious point, but rather seemed designed to be inflammatory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." But I do not mean to complain about anyone trolling. I just wanted Chris to clarify his point if he had one, or to find out if he did not have a point. And I only brought up trolling now because Charlie's behavior seems to indicate a tendency to call a post a troll if he disagrees with the opinion expressed, and to call a post worthwhile if he agrees with the opinion expressed. _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
