Shrugging Galt's Gulch (online)

Unfortunately, I will be needing to "shrug" this forum. I have asked too many questions without satisfactory answers from those who are Objectivists, or at least those who adhere to Ms. Rand's teachings/philosophy.

I won't list those questions which I do not believe have been answered because I won't be here anyways, so why waste the 0's and 1's.

I have enjoyed the banter and hope that those who have not seen the light which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord, will do so before God calls you away from this earth.

Take care,
flanap

    No, the abuse was throughout my lifetime. Finally had too much and just plain turned mean.

    Sorry. Wish I could be nicer.

    who is we? I spent significant time discussing religion and answering questions people asked in this forum that put God, Christianity and Objectivism in the same posts. I enjoyed many exchanges with flanap. It is this post where he crossed the line with getting serous, candid debate. I have also shared many bawdy, knee slappers with him-check out CQ's post on words and phrases you just like to say. I completely agree that many people evade too much to be Objectivists. But I do not believe that is gblaze's point.

    ...and that's what I'd like clarification on. (And it really is too bad that WWJGD is so mean.)

    My guess is he meant either:
    1. People evade too much to be objectivists.
    2. We're mean to people who are sympathetic, so it's no wonder people aren't convinced.

    Well that part I understood....what I didn't understand is what he meant by his comment. Do you know what he meant? (It's not attached to any other comment...so I'm confused.)

    I'm beginning to see why there are so few Objectivism in the world.

    Yeah...years later I realized..."Wow! We had NO idea what we were saying when we sang along with this album." I think I still know the words to every song.....
