Why exactly does anyone need to call him by his former screen name? ---

Because he doesn’t like it, silly. So, **dropzone** , here’s the skinny: we can’t even call \*\*Liberal \*\* by some unmentionable former Username he himself chose, then changed, even though it more accurately reflects his political beliefs, IN A FUCKING PIT THREAD because he whined about it once, and **tomndebb** made a pre-emptive warning to keep **Lib’s** pudgy hands off the “Report Bad Post” link to keep him from whining some more about again. But to paraphrase Peter Hatcher in Judy Blume’s _Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing_, “I promised never to call him Fang again. But secretly, whenever I look at my brother, I think it. _My brother, Fang Hatcher!_ Nobody can stop me from thinking. My mind is my own.” ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > Why exactly does anyone need to call him by his former screen name? Because he changed his name to be an asshole. He changed it from “Libertarian” to “Liberal”, first, to piss off modern liberals, and second to equate his modern libertarian viewpoint with classical liberalism, when the two aren’t the same. ---

Welcome back, **Liberal**. I’m glad to hear that you had some wonderful things happen on the break. I also hope that you can stick your intention to continue to post, but less often and less acerbically. I’d love to see you remain as a poster in good standing, contributing your viewpoint to those threads that can use it. Good luck. ---

I don’t like the idea of threatening somebody with banning because they’re acting cantankerous. Nobody is being forced to read Liberal’s posts. They have the option of skipping right over them. Liberal’s not some basement-dwelling social retard who’s deliberately seeking negative attention. He’s not trying to cause the collapse of SDMB. What do we tell the fundies who try to get certain movies, books or TV shows banned? JUST DON’T LOOK AT THEM IF THEY BOTHER YOU SO MUCH! Enough of the double standards. If thy right eye offendeth thee, pluck it out. Just put Liberal on ignore if he bothers you so much. ---
