Mr Hodgkin, Humor me and explain where in my statement which you quoted I did this---
<<<"... Diana was advocating as a Libertarian principle...that domestic violence was not a fit matter for government concern. ..."

or this---
"...but an outright statement that if a wife wants to beat up her husband and send him to the hospital with permanent disabling injuries, the Libertarian philosophy says "that's just fine."...>>

Here's the quote from me (snipped from your post for convenience):
<<<<"...In that this is the "Libertarian Discussion Forum", I'll also say that domestic violence is a private, family matter that the gvrnmnt has no business involving itself in. How families organize and conduct themselves internally is their own to decide and work out among the family members. Inside the family. Not for me or you or the gvrnmnt to poke into and judge... ">>>>

I was stating my own opinion, and stated specifically shortly afterward that I did not claim to represent the LP's position.
---The question of where gvrnmnt intrusion is & is not appropriate seems to me to be a proper subject for a thread named Libertarian Discussion Forum.

Imho, It seems you have incorrectly attributed to me a claim that the opinion I was stating was a Libertarian principle.

--- Kindly explain how I am misunderstanding the intention of your statements, or admit your mistake.

regards,
diana
