You're right, I didn't. The main thing I wanted to know about your original post is why your morals are relevant to my opinions, and you didn't answer that, but just repeated the standard annoying Libertarian line that libertarianism is the only moral political philosophy.

> why your morals are relevant to my opinions

Please show an excerpt where I imply that my morals are relevant to your opinions.

When I say 'I have a moral problem with your willingness to "force" someone to do something' I mean 'I can refute it on moral grounds'. The refutation being, forcing someone/a monopoly/a group of people/a corporation to act against its incentives is perverse (it minimizes freedom) and especially so when there are alternatives that are not perverse and that maximize freedom, which is competition.

I think you're overcomplicating this.
