Short Sellers are a massive plague on the market, short selling should be banned in general

Free markets work better than controlled markets as history has shown.

We aren’t talking about how it is, we’re talking about how it should be. Banning short selling would remove the ability to hedge a large long position and would remove a necessary check on overvalued companies by providing an incentive to predict their collapse. Short selling serves an important role in the markets and banning it would be overkill and counter productive.

That's not a very libertarian position to take.

Believing the Stock market is a Free market or Supported by Libertarianism shows how little you understand about either the stock marker or libertarianism
