| | If this was not so, then, when I cited, as only one example, Rand's "By Our Most Grievous Fault," did he remove it immediately?
Regi has explained this to you - he was sent the article, which he had not known existed, and had assumed was 'in the public domain". On learning that this status was uncertain, he removed it and is in contact with ARI regarding obtaining rights to use. You are aware of this, Barbara.
Cass, you wrote: "And I finally find it absolutely outrageous that you can take my post to someone who was obviously as disgusted by another perigo outburst as I -"
I have no idea who or what you're referring to. Do you care to explain?

Of course, although I thought it was self explanatory. My apologies. L.Perigo frequently indulges in bouts of undisciplined vituperation aimed at "friends", ie people whose views are mostly in line with what this site claims to be about, but who have disagreed with him on some principle he is not prepared to accept any disagreement over, from anyone. His language is from the gutter. It does not belong in any intelligent forum, which claims benevolence (as someone else here put it, Scott I think from memory) as part of its "sense of life". Many are absolutely outraged, disgusted and ultimately repelled. They express this. I share their feelings. I feel more so because many of these people are very young, and searching for a better philosophy to live their lives by than that offered by mainstream culture. They think they have found it in Objectivism, and that Solo represents Objectivism. In some aspects, it does, and appears to. But in many it doesn't. It is, to quote Joe Maurone, a sham.
However, L.Perigo "owns" this site, whatever that means in electronic media terms, {I am really very ignorant about the Net}. If he wants to indulge in this sort of kindergarten faeces smearing here, he can. I wanted the young person I was talking to know, if he wants an Objectivist site that doesn't do this sort of thing, that has truly intelligent discussion without abuse, then he should log onto it, and gave the link. This site is moderated by one Regi Firehammer, who used to post here regularly, and was banned because he said things Dear Leader disagreed with. However, following from my post, yourself and Joe Rowlands began to post statements calling Regis' philosophy and manner of expressing it into contempt, and naming him in the process. However, you did it here, on this forum, where he cannot because of Executive decree, defend himself. I find this contemptable, just as I found N.Brandens' attacks on Rand after she was dead, and could not defend herself, as contemptible. If you want to attack a persons' views, you should have the guts and honesty to do it when they can attack back.
I dont know who prevented Regi from posting here, but in the eyes of we plebs out here, you, Joe, and Linz are the politburo chiefs whose word goes. I dont know if you were responsible for banning Regi, I only know you joined in attacking someone who has been prevented from defending themselves.
And that, Ms. Branden, aint Objectivism.Period
