The funny thing is that the OP is one of the biggest idiots to have frequented these forums. And that's saying something Smiley

I think the OP is a prophet.

How can one have an opinion on the other posts of the OP? It appears to be an unreachable guest account.
OP is/was Atlas, among many other pseudonyms he took after being repeatedly banned for turning everything into an argument about why governments across the world will fall to libertarian ideals (you could be talking about which soda you prefer, and Atlas will surely come in and start ranting about the soda Nazis, and why libertarians must drink unlicensed soda to rebel against government oppression). When not derailing threads, his range of topics (which varied greatly, along with personality, depending on which sock account he used) included "everyone should use blue light bulbs" and "I can't make the 'u' thing on my keyboard." His MO consisted mostly of quoting dead people and complaining about the heavy-handed moderation policies. As you probably know, you basically can't post anything on this forum without having your thread being deleted by Thermos the Tyrant.

Thermos the Tyrant? What happened to you Kluge? You used to be a lot more PC and supporting of the forum. Someone did something to you? Theymos maybe?

BTW: I miss the Atlas vs. Matthew threads. They were some of the most entertaining on the forum. Some people at the time were speculating over whether Atlas and Matthew were the same person. They weren't the same person they were just both equally peculiar. The arguments were entertaining because both of them were very intelligent, well read and immature to the point of infantile.

Ahh. Thanks for the background on Atlas. How ironic then that this post has become iconic.

Atlas was a child with a great mind.  He will be truly great one day, but while he was here he mostly aggravated everyone with his inmature worldview and narrow ideology.  He needs to grow up some, but I have no doubt that he has enough of his own bitcoins that he many never want for anything.

You might feel as sad, though, as this is not related at all. Wink

He wasn't (permanently) banned for any of that. He was when he started that suicide thread ...

it is as utopian

Nope, far from it. It simply recognizes that there is a "less bad" way than using violence to accomplish things. It doesn't promise perfection or even close to it. It implicitly recognizes that perfection is not achievable.

Taxes are actually the simplest and easiest way to fund some things

Similar reasoning is behind why you'll find your car windows broken out if you park in certain places.

When I first posted here, I had just 0.02 btc. Since that time I got fractions of bitcoin from faucets and ads in my sig and now I hold 0.19712053 BTC. I am watching at the price and seeing that my bitcoin investment costs ~200 USD (and growing!). Hope it will be 200 000 in future  Grin

I also get the feeling that the intellectual level on this forum is somewhat above average.

Once upon a time, the same thing could have been said about the Internet at large.

how many years we going back here 50 ?
