LB BORK and others fall into a similar category as I sort out ways to save time. For me one great big Sort is gurus who have a book out. HENDRICKSON of course has Cracking the Code and Famspear I think it is - Bernard S. SUSSMAN is a trained attorney who became a law librarian for his active career - Shoonra - who wrote Idiot Patriot Arguments; in two renditions. Writing a book for profit about remedy strikes me as a mental trap. Especially when the author excludes the remedy from his thinking! So now the author is stuck defending his own doctrine.
LB BORK as I see it, and Pete HENDRICKSON too albeit less formally, both have built a quasi-pyramid scheme around their book. In order to post with either of these two you must buy, read and agree with the author of the website's book. If you do not then you are out.
With Pete there was something very annoying. If you received a Zero-Income Refund using his method you were encouraged to post it on his Forum. If the IRS began to recant and want the funds back the Member usually would expect for Pete to take down the Image of the Refund Check. Instead the Member would be banished and the Image would stay, supporting that the Zero-Return method was successful. This gives the poor victim of Cracking the Code the extra insult to injury of feeling dishonest too; leading more readers into making the same mistake.
Quatloos was quite a growing experience for me. Recently I started a document Quatloos Wisdom. Not much there yet because it is really just a couple gems on my mind... But it still seems in better taste than to just link people to Wserra's thread about Redeeming Lawful Money there, which turned out to be the best recommendation ever!
I recall writing a Blog at the very beginning for StSC here about being Thick-Skinned with the Quatlosers in mind. I really was expecting a much bigger attack than occurred. Potapaug dropped in and even registered. He finally got disgusted with that first quoted remark - that I have connected the IN GOD WE TRUST on the bills to the Oath of Office and State Comptrollers. I find that pretty amusing!
I thought posting Pragmatism on Sui Juris Club might get mention on Quatloos too. Nope! Not yet anyway...
If you recall I was a monopoly on entertainment value at Quatloos and when they banished me, the place dried up permanently! I even became bored watching how everybody left but the core group formed around attacking me! And they were just busy trying to keep up the ridicule without me there. It was so sad.
Thanks for the evaluation on your take of the Echo Chamber, as I have been calling it.

P.S. Pete has always kept me banished from Lost Horizons. Also BORK's website too. Other websites keep me monitored, viewing my posts before viewing etc...
