He was being honest about his personal philosophy, and where he is coming from. Yes, he is a member of a corp that has been filled with conservative/libertarians since EVE beta.
It's hardly a surprise that a group of individualists have decided to form galt's gulches in wormhole space, instead of forming a large collective to seize portions of nullsec ... you do what you consider fun in this game. Why bother to play if you aren't enjoying what you are doing?
Your ad hominum attack is a bit amusing and hypocritical. The philosophy of the people he plays and associates with makes him no less effective than that of someone who is part of a group of folks that spend a lot of time parodying and trolling folks from, say, an internet forum?
Taggart has been in WH space for a very long time, since they were spanked out of null way back when. Lucius has developed a good rep as an honest broker of developed wormholes, and Taggart is now just about the only broker in EVE for them. This is a sound basis for choosing him as a candidate to promote wormhole space issues and fixes. |

Ad hominem. And yes, objectivism essentially disqualifies you from being an effective representative.
If you feel that forcing others to sacrifice their efforts for your political/social goals is laudible, then yes, he would not represent you well.

What. No. Being a broker has absolutely nothing with being a political representative. Nothing whatsoever.
It means that folks he has done business with trust him to keep his word. I suppose this is an instant disqualification for political office then? |

while being honest about his glaring defects is commendable it does not erase those glaring defects
So a philosophy that demands that you not expect others to sacrifice themselves involuntarily for your personal gain is a defect?
OK then.
Your honesty is also laudible. |
