Asimov Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 So I'm on these Ayn Rand forums asking some questions about randian objectivism and I receive this pm from the administrator to: 1. Stop the constant bolding (fuck). 2. If I'm quoting multiple people to put their names there....big fucking deal. 3. Pay "special attention" to spelling and grammar. What they actually want me to do is ALWAYS capitalize Ayn Rand, Miss Rand, Rand, Objectivism, Randian Objectivism. I'm kind of getting the idea about what people call "Randroids". They call it proper respect for Miss Rand, I call it fanatical bullshit. Get a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigile Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I've mentioned this before, Shermer outlined why he believes the Rands are a cult. This does not necessarily mean that all they espouse is bs, just that the org is very cult-like in their elevation of Ayn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookums Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ah! Fun with Fanatics....good for you! I like to poke sticks at Nisch-i- ites. Philospher's - (stone me dead)......methinks they make for a dummy (pacifier) replacement for the Jebus god .......but who am I to judge? I'm being very 'subjective'...andperhaps subjective....while that PM reads very like a conflict waiting to happen... (not very liberal of them is it)..and stiff shit for your 'indepence' and 'liberty'..........haha Bold..for ucks sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimov Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well, it seems that upholding someone above them like that goes against their very idea of Objectivism, but that could be me. They sure take "respect" to the extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I joined a model-kit building forum one time and they were pretty strict on their members' proper use of punctuation and grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shiva H. Vishnu Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Don't ever spell "pee" as "pea" on an adult watersports forum. The vegetarians there will give you hell and you'll get at least a dozens PMs asking about green urine and should they see a doctor. Just a tip.

HadouKen24 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ah. Objectivists. Yah, I avoid their type. Objectivism is a piss poor philosophy, and a lot of those who follow it are in-your-face windbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnosis of Disbelief Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Objectivists tend to be overly pedantic and so insecure that they're constantly trying to impress you with their intellectualism. It puzzles me why Any Rand would attract followers like that; love her or hate her, she was always pretty headstrong and self-assured. She would probably be appalled at the kind of devotees that she's attracted these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skankboy Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Fuck Rand and fuck her psuedo-intellectual justification for being a complete and utter prick. Fuck them Asimov. Bold all you want. I always thought you did it so it would be easier to find your posts as you scoll through. Never bothered me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
