In terms of you trying to explain to him what libertarianism is, no. In terms of our disagreeing on specific policies, no (we do disagree on some of the minor details).

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

I'll have to to work on phrasing things better, I suppose. It becomes difficult to remember that forum arguments tend to be all or nothing. A willingness to accept two centuries of precident and progress equates to being a "damned government loving nanny stater". A feeling that strict Constitutionalism would have far reaching, negative impact on this country means I support all government and everything it does under all conditions. Apparently, I hate all individuals and rights, too. A simple quote about how the extremes of individualism versus collectivism are both unworkable went wrong. Nobody stepped in to help me, so I must be in the wrong. So, that's it. I'll step back.

I'll still take issue with statements that I think are bizarre or unworkable, but I've learned my lesson about debating general philosophy, here. Disappointing.
I have NEVER called you that. I believe I have respectfully shown my position.

Yes I found it quite disappointing as well.

Thanks chan and bonedaddy for responding to the question. I was not sure you would see it.

He was referring to me. I did say he was a government-loving nanny stater but not for "a willingness to accept two centuries of precident and progress."

Of course, this perverted notion of accepting two centuries of precedent is essentially the same thing as saying "It doesn't matter that it's illegal, we've been doing it for nearly 200 years and that makes it okay." I guess if the American government were killing red-headed step-children at age two for 200 years he'd say that was okay because it's "precedent."
