Fair.

That would be an interesting discussion that would probe some of the boundaries of libertarian thought.

What am I missing about Ross Ulbricht and the silk road?

I think you're right, but our legal system (at least the 8th grade civics version of it) is predicated on presumptions of innocence.

If all he was convicted of are things we don't think are wrong and there isn't overwhelming evidence of anything else, I don't see the need to sort it all out.

What you might say, that is perfectly reasonable, is that he created a site where that easily could have happened. You'll have to consult your conscience about that one, I suppose.
