How can one be a radical libertarian Catholic?

Cf. my posting history prior to 1 January 2015.

I doubt it made much sense. Either way, I want a refund.

There are many radical libertarian Catholics. Tom Woods for example. I don't know what refund you want, you never paid me anything.

Given that you were also banned and then allowed to return after a waiting period, I wouldn't go there if I were you.

But I would! If they mods think I deserve to be re-banned, let them re-ban me. I said as much just on the previous page.

Well, as someone who had to wait and prove that your change is genuine, I would expect little more understanding for the others in the same position. I not trying to compare your past record to Libertas'. I simply believe now that he was being unbanned, we should at least wait a little bot before jumping into conclusion, because to rapidly re-ban him would be judiciously inconsistent.

Btw, I agree the people here are too pasive regarding bad posters, but I'm not prepared to call Libertas "bad poster" just yet.

You have a point. A more accurate comparison, however, would be if I had immediately resumed making nonsensical remarks after returning, pretended that my views had completely changed because I had fallen down a flight of stairs, all while several suspicious sock puppet accounts appeared on the forum. That is to say, if I resumed doing the things I had gotten banned for in the first place, merely from a different standpoint. That appears to be what is happening here.

Returning and immediately agitating half the forum is not a good sign, by any standard.

He's not agitating anyone. Some people are coming out of the woodwork to attack him and tell him to leave, and he is calmly replying to them.

He has agitated most of our better posters.

What specifically has he done to agitate anyone? What he has done to them that cannot be solved with the ignore button? If they're such spoiled children that they cannot bear to use the forum because a person they dislike is not immediately banned from it, then good riddance.

You weren't even here while I was here, Oakvale was friendly toward me while I was here (apparently he spent a lot of time thinking about me while I wasn't even here to change his mind against me), and I don't know who the Green Oklahoma Tzar guy is.

Marokai is the only one who is at least consistent in criticizing me, although I suspect he is motivated more by an old grudge against me as opposed to actually supporting Oakvale as Grand Inquisitor to judge if people are "morally straight" enough to be allowed on the Atlas Forum.

Actually I was, but thanks for playing.  I remember your little temper-tantrums when the Vatican and Calvin Coolidge got eliminated in your survivors, to say nothing of your rampant anti-Semitism and general  douchebaggery.  You may've changed up your act, but it seems you can't help yourself regarding your attention-seeking behavior.  I can only speak for myself, but as someone who actually is Jewish, I found your posts pretty offensive whether they reflected your real beliefs or not.

You're not paying very close attention. That post wasn't addressed to you although I did refer to you.

As for offending you, although I don't remember you personally you have my apologies, I have already apologized repeatedly for anti-Semitic trolling from over four years ago. You have the right to not forgive me. But I was a teenage troll on an internet forum whose most blatantly anti-Semitic act was posting cartoonishly stupid surreal photoshopped images I got off some website, I was not a freaking Nazi prison guard. So to impugn my character today based on stupid things posted as far back as when I was only 18 is a tad unfair in my opinion.

I don't know where this accusation of "attention seeking behavior" comes from. I have been here 3 days. I made one thread, an introductory thread, originally a long post introducing myself but then cut down to just announcing my return to avoid appearing "attention seeking". Of course a controversial banned poster announcing his return with an introduction thread was going to attract attention. There are plenty of "attention seekers" on this forum. "Attention seekers" who spend all their time talking about the professional attention whores we call politicians.  If "attention seeking behavior" were a bannable offense, BushOklahoma would have been been banned about a hundred Updates ago. But it's not.

Look, if it becomes clear you've really changed after you've been here for a while, I'll forgive you sooner or later.  However, forgiveness  is sometimes something that has to be earned and this is one of those cases.

Some of our members are easily agitated, regardless of a subject.

Very well, entirely understandable, makes you far more reasonable than all the "agitated" posters who can't get over silly over-the-top trolling from 4+ years ago by an immature child for which I have already profusely apologized.

The reasons you were originally banned--rampant anti-semitism, extreme right wing conspiracy theories, general nastiness--are long gone and wholly apologized for.

The concerns people mention now--attention whoring with no filter and a need to respond to EVERY comment--is totally different, but highly concerning in a different, but very real, way.
