Actually the opposite is true. When a TP comes in here, they are arrogantly inundated with how wrong they are by a large handful of the motley crew. They are laughed at, chastised, made fun of, called names, their user names are frequently manipulated....etc...etc...etc...Famspear wrote:I think you may be missing a bigger point.

It's not an issue of being hated, I feel the bigger issue is that Quatloos has the habit of being very disrespectful to those folks. Lots of the Quatloos talk down to TP's like their [sic] dirt.
And what legal proof do you have to make the determination that "TP's" are engaged in illegal activities, as you claim?
People who are not criminals are in some sense "better" than people who are criminals -- at least with respect to those particular acts which define the criminal as criminals
Yawn....scratching belly
There are good guys and bad guys here. We Quatloos regulars are the good guys.
LMHairyAO!!!!
The criminals -- the tax protesters -- are the bad guys.
Have you ever heard the phrase?...Contempt prior to investigation. That is definitely YOU. I am a tax protestor, does that make me "criminal"?
This has got to be the biggest load of horsey flies I've read in here to date! "Tax Protestors".... so much for the 1st amendment, freedom of speech and freedom to address one's gov't for grievances.
I've always worked a job, yet I havent filed a 1040 since the early 90's...Does that make me a criminal? I've never been indicted on any "tax crimes"
In this particular context, it is entirely appropriate for the good guys to "talk down to" the bad guys.
Hmmmm....even a judge has the class to professionally address a defendant by his/her name and not talk down to them.
And your excuse is?.....
There is another reason why it is appropriate to "talk down to" these people. These people are arrogant know-nothings -- in the context of federal tax law.
Nah, I think you have the market cornered on having an arrogant attitude chief..
For example, I know what I am talking about. Peter Hendrickson does not. For a tax protester to come here and presume to "lecture" me on tax law is the height of arrogance and stupidity. The tax protester believes strongly that he is correct. He is wrong. As Dan Evans has said, if you are going to strike the King, you had better kill him. If you are going to presume to lecture knowledgeable people about something you know nothing about, you had better be right. It is entirely appropriate to talk down to these people in this circumstance.
For a tax protester to come here as many do and presume to "lecture" us is a showing of disrespect. It is entirely appropriate for us to disrespect people who show disrespect in this way.
We know what we are talking about. The tax protesters do not.
Just as you folks did me. However, I dont run from bullies. After one has faced numerous federal indictments in open court, few things really scare one any more.
Back to my point 2 paragraphs ago...So whom is truly the greater offender of peoples POV?
