It ends up being the same thing. The libertarian crowd (and he shall go nameless) has a bug up his butt concerning certain people (both of whom shall also go nameless), and any time the subject comes up, he has to put in a dig or two at others and it devolves into page after page of the latter. This happens because certain people are convinced that they have the right to respond ... or that they have the right to speak last. But politeness and economy dictate otherwise.
I agree with you but even you know who has a right to respond. The problem is not so much his right to do so, it is the nature of the responses, which he actually thinks are defenses or counterarguments to some facts that are really no longer longer in dispute. He is in denial and we all know what that is like. Even Shooter sees to be coming out of the fog of his own denial. He mostly comes around because he likes us and tries to start fights for his own amusement. It works best when everyone is willing to confront reality. We can debate the nature of reality but we can' deny the consensus view of what that reality may be. The earth s round, not flat. The earth was not created 6000 yers ago, certain offensive documents were less than 15, not 30, years old, etc...
