That's just the plural of Libertarian.
Or, possibly, the name of a proposed new country.

Prediction #2: Correct.

I am going to a country where I get treated with more respect and ---- SKI baby SKI.
Okay. Bye!

Or to use a quote from here

Best of luck with the baby, Damian.

That said, and while I'm not big on all those fancy forms of tenses, they all seem at least some form of past tense to me:
Someone presented an argument.
I have been a supporter (i.e. in the past).
I thought X (i.e. in the past) and now my view is Y. etcNo. I didn't say that none of the three quotes contain any usage of the past tense, but that all three comments are indicative, either explicitly or implicitly, of the present tense, specifically "Not this time" in the first, " they’re no longer strong enough" in the third, and, in the second, the implicit "I have been a strong supporter [but no longer am].
BTW, your repeated attempts at withering (see also: "If only you'd been earlier, this post could have been dedicated to you!") are rather tiresome. Good day, sir!

by that time, I had already changed my mind
So it seems. Strange then that all references in your post of two days ago to your conversion are in the present tense.
When circumstances change, the calculations can too. Not this time. Someone just presented an argument that was there all along in a slightly different way, and I couldn’t answer it.
Though it has long been unpopular, I have been a strong supporter of the single seat exemption...
I thought these were strong arguments. And I still do. But they’re no longer strong enough.

But no-one complained that it meant voters in Epsom had more power than other voters.
Au contraire!
It's unfair, IMO, against those parties (and suppo[r]ters thereof) that have broad, rather than concentrated, support and it encourages gaming of the system because it rewards with greater power the voters in electorates that vote in a Hide, Dunne, or Anderton.

the red background, faux-stencil typeface and ALL CAPS combine to make them look a little... how do I put this... hammer-and-sickle

Technical question:
How come this thread appears to be "stickied" on the PAS list?
