Mr. Walter Block, why do you call yourself “Block” as in "BLOCK’S RESPONSES", when you could have said "MY RESPONSES"? Is it funny to come off as crazy (I do not mean to offend you, I have bought two of your books and I like your work) or did someone else write this? If you think it’s funny to come off as crazy, then, OK, you can do that if you want to. But if someone else wrote this and posted it from your account, that is not a good habit.

EDIT 1: I think you are the greatest Austrian since Rothbard, so do not misinterpret this.

EDIT 2: After further investigation, the links seem to have come from the Loyola intranet: http://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=141.164.133.3

EDIT 3: The reason I am concerned is because writing in other people’s names might discredit those people in the future, as evidenced by the whole “RON PAUL IS A RACIST!1!1!!!1!” thingy.
