That led me to misremember a specific quote involving Boaz. I've also talked about this piece with a couple libertarian friends -- it's possible that one of them mentioned offline that Kilgore and Boaz were close, and that's what threw me.<br /><br /><br />Still, I do think the broader point that Kilgore likes some libertarians socially is true. He mentions co-existing on panels with libertarians, going out to lunch and drinks with these people, and otherwise co-existing socially and professionally with us. He also makes a reference to "nice" Cato foundation colleagues. None of these comments are the sorts of things one says about people whom one doesn't like personally. In light of that, your comment about my not having read the piece does come off as a little harsh. I don't get overly exercised about this sort of thing, but please be advised that others might -- especially from an anonymous commenter.Isabel Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338591033415985750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315024531213408708.post-60565034496277415572010-02-16T07:54:35.028-08:002010-02-16T07:54:35.028-08:00Kilgore said nothing about "liking" any ...Kilgore said nothing about "liking" any libertarian "personally."
