Re: Riiiight.

"I fully support such movements, and hope that someone does, in fact, 'smash the state' at some point in the near future, providing that vigilantism does not form a prominent role in the resulting social order."

I'm glad you said that, because there have been precedents of effective court systems without governments.

"Otherwise, I am likely to get stuck in an infinite progression of having to clarify my life's philosophy to posters who feel they can extrapolate it from off-hand comments I make in response to a very specific issue."

Always a problem in long-running internet discussions where participants drift in and out. Pay attention, and over time you will learn to address the most common concerns before they crop up. You'll never catch every possibility, but you can probably learn to anticipate and answer such concerns nine times out of ten before you have the unending argument.
