I can re read the points you made from a libertarian / anarchist tone as well. (I see very little difference in the two). For example: - "whatever means necessary" can mean using illegal (contra legal ?) means to intimidate the guy who stole the bitcoins. - "Given the right flavor of influence from our community" Again without explicitly saying what the right flavor is, he is asking the community to do what they think is right. The rest of your post does not go against libertarian or anarchist principles. But it does fall in line with a skewed version of those terms. I am not defending the silk road here. It is contrary to many of my principles. But your post does feel like a straw man attack.
