The excellent anarcho-capitalist commentator Wendy McElroy writes that everyone in her circle knows who wrote that bigoted crap in the Ron Paul newsletters. My circle touched McElroy's a few years back, albeit only slightly (I was an intern at Liberty, where McElroy is a contributing editor), and based on every hint in her post -- it's someone who's still prominent and close to Paul, someone who has been uncivil to ex-friends who've criticized Paul, someone who McElroy is sad to severe her relationship with -- my guess (which could be wrong) is that we're talking about Lew Rockwell.

UPDATE: I see that Virginia Postrel has the same guess.
