Definitions are really the key here

libertine - 1) a dissolute person 2) what Reds who call themselves libertarians call actual libertarians.

  Wow, TONS of questions about the Free State Project.

Look how nice that chat worked out without threads.

  Well, if you want comment-posting delayed until someone's ready to respond, I suppose that would work...

    look how nicely threaded comments work. Now anyone who doesn't care, doesn't have to read this comment. I'm dumbfounded that anyone would complain about such an obvious improvement to the site.

how do you beat apathy?

Eddiehornblower: Why would you want to?

Fucking classic.

My question that wasn't answered: How much did you guys pay yourselves for this live chat?

  Damn, Lonewacko didn't get to ask any ToughQuestions.

    How dare you slime me with that slanderous label of he-who-should-neither-be-named-or-read?

      I keed, I keed...

        You hurt my feeling. All one of them.

We were ALL winners, really.

I had three completely pointless questions answered while some of you crybabies had none. Suck it, those who are not me.
1. briareus 16 years ago
  
  Yeah, I had two meaningful ones ignored. Congratulations on degrading the signal to noise ratio. Not that it matters anyway, it was still an entertaining way to watch my lunch hour go by.
  1. John Berger 16 years ago
    
    Increasing noise at the expense of signal is the primary method I used to make half of my college classes marginally bearable. Never underestimate the power of a stupid question!!

      As an aside its also how politicians are able to skate through townhall meetings. They respond for 5 minutes on a pointless question while smiling like they farted in a crowded room all the while pimping their talking points. Followed by a 15 second non-answer of an important question.
  2. automanipulator 16 years ago
    
    Hey, now that I think about it, we're much better off knowing that Matt Welch is the resident perv, Bowie & Gary Glitter are the preferred glam rockers, and Matt enjoys the beverage 'Squirt.' Maybe you guys were the ones with the retarded questions, not me.

Twice I asked where the bathroom was, but to no avail. What shitty hosts.
J sub D 16 years ago

I liked it.

My humble recommendation - Do it once a month/quarter with different staffers.

  +1...it was fun
  1. Eric the .5b 16 years ago
    
    Agreed.
    1. briareus 16 years ago
      
      Indeed; plus one on the agreed.

FTR, I wasn't joking about a Reason TV Lonewacko interview. I think it would be hilarious. Perhaps they could film it at a cocktail party.

RE: threaded comments

The silent majority should shut the fuck up.
JB 16 years ago

John, Matt Welch has been in a causal relationship with himself since he started working here.

Is that 'casual' or 'causal'?
