No. My opinions of many posters have changed many times.

Why troll? This is about the spectrum of political opinion. Small L, not large L. So even if your default response to Libertarianism is that it's beneath your contempt, I don't understand your response. I clearly used a different, but tangentially related word as an adjective. It would be like slamming Democrats if someone made a comment about democracies.
A legal assessment of the level of personal responsibility for something that causes harm can be addressed in many ways, depending on where you think the right place on the spectrum is for this sort of event. I think this is a complicated issue, and whether I like this particular judicial result is irrelevant - though I think Carter's actions and reactions have a lot to do with my assessment of him as a player I'd want on my football team.
