Yes, I see what you did there. Of course, based on your stated approach to replies, it's impossible for me to tell how that fits in the context of our minor spat. And I won't even bother to speculate if you really would have no problem with a service requirement for POTUS. In the grand scheme it shouldn't matter, as something like that would never get off the ground, no matter how good of an idea it may be. And of course, I do appreciate your service to our country, so thank you for that. I also see that you're definitely as thick skinned as I had hoped.
I'm a leaning libertarian myself, but I've never designated that party, or *any* party affiliation when registering to vote. I'm not sure I lean more right or left within the libertarian spectrum. I'm very conservative on fiscal issues, and quite moderate on social issues (sorry, can't say the L word in any way that is associated with me!) As an attempted political party, libertarians strike me as a joke. I've said many times that if they couldn't get any serious traction in 2016, given the candidates from the two major parties, then they never would.
And you cracked me up by telling me what happened when you were a mod before! I've done tech support in a former life, and dealt with exactly that type. So I can empathize with what you described, at least a little bit. I could never tell which was their primary motivation for the inane questions people would ask and the crazy things they had done; was it laziness, stupidity, or ignorance, or a sad combination of two or more? Regardless, there are definitely a lot of people that shouldn't be behind a keyboard for anything but a site like imgflip.
