This question has been asked repeatedly here in the forum. The information for the answer of this question has been readily available on the internet - here is the answer - hopefully this will clear uo any possible confusion.
Nope, because that is not the question that has been asked. The ACTUAL question is, what is a "Lib"? Note the Boiler-style capitalization. When you capitalize a word, you change its meaning.
The word "liberal" should not be capitalized unless it is part of a proper name, any more than, say, "potato" or "earthquake" should be. Therefore, either a) Boiler is a complete idiot who doesn't know the rules of capitalization that my third-grade students easily master, or b) Boiler has invented a new word, the meaning of which he has yet to explain.

The definition explains what a lib is.

But not what a "Lib" is. That's my point. Capitalization changes meanings. Why does Boiler capitalize the term? Kind of stupid-looking, aside from being inaccurate.
