I've seen a lot of online libertarians criticized for things that have nothing to do with being libertarian.
It's not hard to be libertarian.
All you have to do is recognize you have no right to violate anyone's life, liberty, or property. This is what the ZAP puts into words.
Then it's up to you to keep the promise.
As long as someone makes the effort, whatever else they do is none of my business.
Some people are going to make different choices than those I would make. Often some of these choices are just for fun or are tied to attempts to make extra money.
You might think they are showing libertarians in a bad light, or being frivolous, or even immoral by your standards. You are free to think that, but as long as their actions don't violate anyone you have no right to stop them. You can criticize all you want, but remember you may drive someone away from liberty just as easily with your criticisms as the behaviors you criticize can.
Plus, as has been said, a revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having. Life needs joy. No one can survive emotionally being serious all the time. I'll defend people just trying to have fun or make honest money, as long as they aren't violating anyone. Even if their choices differ from mine.
