The Assault of YES on the Objectivist forum

We have a 20% warn!

The mentally challenged at Objectivism-on-line will simply not tolerate my repreated attacks against their beloved conservatives who masquerade as objectivists.

Fine. My repeated absence from there has served to make me aware that there are pretenses galore in the world of the internet.

I'll just not go there any more.

AssRyan can go pound his chest and play with his dick all he wants.

I'm out of there.

As I wind down my involvement there, yet again, I have seen fit to utilize the one feature of that forum that is most helpful to me- the Ignore List.

So who winds up on it?

1. Retards. If I answer a question with any sort of detail and you keep asking the same question, you are a RETARD, OK?

2. Faux objectivists. If you seem to be reiterating, word for word, what Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter say on their respective forums, then you are NOT an objectivist and should at least have the decency to admit such. If you don't, I'll pick it right up and place you on my Ignore List.

3. Liberal trolls- they eventually get banned, but, in the interim, I get one swipe at then, and then if they persist, onto the Ignore List they go.

4. LIbertarian trolls- I get more than one swipe at these. There is a difference between capitalists and libertarians that, in order to be appreciated, requires one to be in the trenches of the working market. Afterwards it gets old, and onto the Ignore List they go.

So before AshRyan sees fit to ban me the second time around, I'm going to pay certain visists there, keep my responses short, and then add to the Ignore List.

Because, the Whole Language/Whole Math/Whole Science crowd has no clue as to what Objectivism is all about.

Yes was up to 60% and the issue was his inflammatory response to a link to a Kerry fake ad.

Yes had to send Greedy Capitalist, the admin, an email which had the offending page screenshot.

Apparently, that was satisfactory, and Yes is back down to 40% and his posting privileges have been restored.

So Yes soldiers on.

The true defender of capitalism, the one who is actually in the trenches doing business.

His warn rate is still at 40%.

He now posts at a new forum sponsored by Robert Tracinski.

There is hope.

I have seen the light, and it is here.

I'll just say that, for the record, no justification exists for the fact that I now rate a 40% warn.

It has been both an enlightening and a frustrating experience posting over at objectivism-online.net.

Some credit must be given to Greedy Capitalist and Ash Ryan for making such a site and forum possible. Prior to this, only scant sites were devoted to capitalism discussions, and those sites had unusual restrictions which had the effect of blocking free thought. The 15 minute time limitation between posts does little more than stifle one's ability to respond in any thoughtful manner. I hate any element which seeks to impede my ability to respond on any forum.

The biggest problem I see on this forum is the attempt of those who were obviously educated, or more correctly, brainwashed, by whole language reading "comprehension", whole math, and revisionist history, to transcend from the dictates of whole education to the cognitive thought processes that many in my generation have developed as a result of reading comprehension through phonics, mathematics with quantitative analysis, and history which presents facts and encourages discussion and analysis.

In other words, respondents trained to do otherwise must now think in a cognitive manner and respond to questions with analysis and grasp of reality. The transcending into discussion of a philosophy based upon reason can be daunting to such minds.

When I answer a question to someone who I suspect was "educated" in this manner- and believe me, as a 56-year-old architect, I can tell- I make every attempt to demonstrate visually why it is I hold a certain opinion.

For example, in my response to BurgessLau in Post No. 60, I get specific as to why I think Jack Wakeland is not a valid purveyor of Objectivism by analyzing his own article and relating it to Objectivist epistemology. See Post #74.

The poster who calls himself Gadfly takes a totally ridiculous approach to my response by stating that I haven't proven my point. This is the kind of poster who is on my Ignore List.

By forming such an Ignore list, by the way, I am able to respond to those who I think are taking a very principled approach based upon capitalism in their discussions, rather than utilizing Objectivism as an escape from their own sorry state of mind.

I have to admit, I find Jack Wakeland's analyses very troubling.

I have read through that thread- although I'm banned from posting I still have access to that site- I too am confounded by Mr. Wakeland's confrontation against Yaron Brook.

I further am confounded by Mr. Wakeland's total lack of indicating that the purpose of fighting an enemy is to either vanquish the enemy or force the enemy to surrender.

Furthermore, I question Jack Wakeland's qualifications as an "Objectivist." I get annoyed when a conservative thinker labels himself Objectivist, then expresses views that are clearly parallel to conservatism.

As a proponent of Objectivism, one who has been familiar with it since 1977, I experience difficulty tolerating those who relate Objectivism to conservatism. I have cited many instances where the two are incompatible. It's clearly written in any of Ayn Rand's nonfiction works.
