I think last page has given me a good understanding of why he has that reputation
Everyone should just ignore him and move on.. Seriously, I don't think it was this thread but he did the same massive type of derail about net neutrality a couple weeks back. Dude is convinced he's the absolute authority on all matters involving technology.

Maybe he got on the topic from the walter block stuff?
It's almost word for word what Block said on the Sam Seder show. It's like he sees these keywords and automatically regurgitates a random wall of text related to it. Has anyone verified he's actually human and not a chatbot that's been fed nothing but mises.org?

Oh man this unschooling derail is hilarious. Sad, baffling and so many more things but still hilarious. I'll bet this guy turns tail and decides to enroll his kid in school by the time the kid is 3 or 4 years old. It's so easy to be idealistic when the kid is still cooking but the reality of being a parent once you actually have a kid or two gives you a completely different outlook. I can think of all kinds of pie in the sky things I wanted to do for my kids, I had all these ideas about how great of a parent I'd be and how my every decision as a father would be the right one.

Then the screaming, making GBS threads little rear end in a top hat arrives and he or she is completely different than you expected and your entire world view changes. I'll eat the keyboard I'm typing on if this guy looks at his kid in a few years and thinks that he or she is capable of directing their own education and/or that mom & dad are qualified, capable and willing to take on the responsibility. Much like libertarianism these parenting fads usually evaporate once they experience reality.
