View submission: NoLibertarian Banned from Reddit
So let me get this straight. You're a bunch of libertarians celebrating the forced silencing of a dissenting voice? For reals?

Reddit is exercising their property rights. They own this site so they have a right to boot anyone off it for any reason. Not supporting that right would be unlibertarian.

Nobody knows for sure why the admins banned him yet, but I think it's safe to assume it didn't have anything to do with his expressed opinions. Though reddit is pretty laid back there are still rules against spamming and vote manipulation, so if they concluded that he was engaging in those types of activities then he deserved to get booted.
That said, everybody's free to express their opinion around here. That doesn't mean we have to like it, or not be happy to see a troll get booted for being a douche.

It's not his dissent that got him banned, it's the fact that he makes no attempt to engage in serious discussion. He just trolls and trolls, and replies to and upvotes his own alts.

Well considering he was manipulating reddit by using sockpuppets I think it is justified.
