I used to follow Mr. E as he was fully against the rise of the socialist state. However, I found that whenever he disagreed with someone he would just call them Marxists, or crypto-fascists, or some other such ad-hominem. He would then ban/ignore them and their arguments if they had any. In the end I think that I agree with much of what he has to say, but I can no longer tolerate his intellectual dishonesty. I believe he is just like most people in that he is simply trying to prop up his preconceived notions without regard for new evidence.
