Nah. How about we dispense with the train metaphor altogether? It's a bad analogy. No one (in this context) has been physically held against their will on anything like a train for too long, or not allowed on, or will be kicked off too soon. The train and conductor imply nonconsensual force. The libertarian movement (and the LP) not only does not imply nonconsensual force, it implies the opposite. Verbal discussions about what does and does not "constitute" libertarianism, even if intended by some to intimidate others, are only that and are not real force by any means.
