Mike R -

I still haven't seen any evidence that Davey is a troll. How Rand has
been misaligned in the past is irrelevant to whether his post was
sincere or not. I don't think asking whether Rand had a personality
disorder is equivalent to calling her a name, and you have provided no
evidence that it is, nor Davey was posting just to cause problems on
the list.

Thus, I don't see any point in discussing this further with you. In
response to my questions about it, you've simply repeated several
times that Davey is a troll. It's clear that you're not interested in
looking at alternate interpretations to your own. Thus, I will say
once again that I disagree with both your assessment and your response
to that assessment and leave it at that.

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.
