Man I'm so confused here. Questions are good! Even if alexrohde is trying to bait you, you have an opportunity to lay out arguments.
I'm a libertarian and I love it when people ask me questions, even if they're trying to bait me. I've got a consistent ideology and someone asking me questions doesn't threaten it.
