Evans ''et al.'', "Larken Rose," from ''Tax Protester Dossiers: Gurus and Other Big Fish'', at [http://tpgurus.wikidot.com/larken-rose].</ref> Rose has spoken out against the tendency of some libertarians to seek to expel from the liberty movement those libertarians who make controversial remarks that might attract criticism to the movement, even if the libertarian in question did not claim to be speaking on behalf of the movement. He argues that libertarians should instead use reasoned argumentation when they have disagreements.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rF1IpTM1pjQ|title=FSP: Organized Cowardice?|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>
