I hadn't seen you posting in a long time - like, a few years - and so I thought I'd reminisce by caricaturing your outspoken and ardent support of a libertarian perspective. To be quite honest, I admired your frankness and it has made me think about the notion of liberty and the market system in a whole new way, so that I've come to be more sympathetic to your argument in recent years. Once, I was an idealistic, "go left or go home" type of supporter, now I'm more realistic, despite still having criticisms of the system that you support. My friend, reading your arguments here were no small part in at least getting me to engage with these issues... in fact, I wouldn't remember you at all if your ideas didn't make an impression, right?

So, no disrespect was intended. I just thought I could poke a little fun at what I remembered of you by exaggerating your viewpoint by way of classic parody. Good to see you're still around, incidentally.
