Juan,
In addition to mockingly laughing at Mr. Knott’s highly admirable scholarly enthusiasm, you have accused Ludwig von Mises of having been a self-promoting positivist who uses cheap rhetoric. That is in DIRECT contravention of forum rules:
This, combined with your long history of attacking other members, is proof that you have no place in a venue for learning and civil discussion. Therefore, I am permanently banning you. You have been given a multitude of chances, so this is a measure that is long overdue.
This has nothing to do with the fact that you disagree with my position in this thread. As can be seen earlier in this thread, I will just as readily defend the memory of Rothbard as I will the memory of Mises, even when it is disparaged by people on my “side” in this debate. But obviously zefreak’s indiscretion was out of the ordinary for him, while yours is par for the course.
In fact, this measure will probably help the objectivist position you espouse, because if anything, your incivility has probably turned people off from it. Justin, Conza, Marko, and other objective rights advocates who don’t feel the need to coat their arguments with spite will have a much easier time convincing people without your input.
I hope some day you will mellow out and be able to promote your ideas regarding libertarianism in a respectful manner. But this forum can no longer wait for that day.
