Stephanie,
You can't understand if a problem is a "disorder" without reference to a
person's total personality. In Rand's case this is doubly important. She has
been labeled a Fascist by folks who disagree with or do not understand her
ideas. In any case, borderline personalities have a cauldron of anger at bottom,
which has nothing to do with Rand.
I'm experimenting with not being polite with folks who I think are trolls. If
that doesn't meet with your approval, tough luck.
best,
Mike Rael

I didn't see any "ignoring Rand's achievements in favor of name
calling". I only saw someone asking if Rand's problem behaviors could
be indicative of Borderline Personality Disorder. Please explain what
I am missing.

Even if your interpretation is correct, that does not justify the tone
of your response. Abusive behavior only fans flames--it very rarely,
if ever, causes anyone to change his/her behavior.

not innocent intellectual inquiry.
