LOL! It's always been that way. Some excerpts from FR Forum 04/07/98
"the perfect form of government...drugs must be legalized in order to support a true Libertarian Society that believes in 100% complete civil liberties for EVERY human being....
You and the Reform people need to get together and get out the vote somewhere else. Go over and split the democrats. ...Another bilious epistle from one of our more notorious and logic-impaired, pants-wetting f*ckwit apologists for atrocity ...Vote libertarian, it's the only ethical choice ...they are here on FR to sap conservative votes. ...we don't need to split the republican party....party has no principals, it just watches polls, collects for the RNC coffers, and considers it "conservative" that they try to make communist-inspired public welfare programs run in the black... liberals are using the Libertarians to split the religious conservatives from the economic conservatives. ... it would be stupid to vote anything other than republican if you are serious amount making change... When you think of Libertarian think of Thomas Jefferson. ...Libertarians ARE not splitting the Republican party. ...make all taxes voluntary. ...FR village idiot...The Republicans stand for a little smaller, a little less invasive government but pretty much the status quo.... Please return to us from the Shirley Temple land....You are a waste of time. ... If you really don't believe in the LP then quit talking in our forum...the present Republican party is a joke.... Splitting the Republican party will not help you or the country and you know that. Why don't you put down your bong and join the Republicans instead of helping the democrats continue to corrupt this country and drag it toward socialism. ... uses foul language when confronted with a Libertarian point of view...they are motiviated more by an animus toward religion than a desire to reduce government intrusion into our lives. ... personal insults...republicans vote this crap all the time...How stupid can you get? ...panegyrics to the all-powerful State... the hostility towards Libertarians that I sometimes find among FR ...a closed mind! ..."Go divide the Democrats".... Looks like they sent out for reinforcements as they have bogarted this forum for three days straight....Wish they would go talk to some Democrats ...".
