Calling all dissenters, if there are any lurking amongst you! Yes, I know several of the previous ones were real Jerk-O-Lanterns, but it is possible to dissent without being totally off the wall.

Now that I think of it, Jack Lord fits that profile nicely. Some of his recent posts would have been just as appropriate here as on the Articles Forum.

Actually, I myself may have a post or two to present here. Stay tuned!

I thought the dissent forum was for sadists and masochists, Bill. Over on SOLO I am being treated by certain members as a dissenter, given that they think I am "someone else." Given that my words are all they have to go on, I don't quite understand their concern with whether or not I am Suleiman the Magnificent or The Flying Spaghetti monster.

I don't know if I would want to be in the same category as some others, but If you read my posts to the Narnia, Vegetarianism, and Animal Mind threads indexed on my profile, you will find plenty to read that is, at least, unorthodox. I have always enjoyed clashing with you, so if there's something that provokes you in what I've written, I will be glad to back it up.

Well, now, Ted -- I wasn't referring to the really competent dissenters, who will almost certainly make me look like a drooling idiot! I mean, for God's sake, pick on someone your own size! [gag]

Seriously, if there were something you'd written that provoked me on another forum, I would address it there. The Dissent Forum is for those who dissent from Objectivism. So, if there is something you disagree with about Objectivism, feel free to post it here, and I will gladly rip it to shreds, unless of course I agree with it, which has been known to happen on occasion. ;-)

Bill,

I appreciate the compliment. I do have my disagreements with Rand on Ethics, based on a differing view of human nature. I'd have to look up the posts. If you have read the three strings I quoted above, and did not violently object, then I may not be so helpful as a foil.

Ted
