Or was I too subtle?  The profusion of Liberal (fill in the blank) articles is bordering on ridiculous to outright delusional.  These overlapping articles on one man's opinion of a large albeit imaginary group of people seems rather---paranoid.  [[User:SiggyF|SiggyF]] 16:12, 24 February 2008 (EST)

: I don't know of anyone here who fits those criteria.  I suspect, however, that you have different ''opinions'' about some of the subjective parts of those criteria.  For example, is the suspicion of the first point "without sufficient basis", or does it have sufficient basis?  Is any preoccupation (second point) unjustified or justified?  And so on.  The way that ''I'' judge it, I can't see that list fitting anyone here.  Does that answer your question, or was it more of a criticism than a question?  [[User:Philip J.
