Credit where credit is due, at least @DrDeth hates Ayn Rand:

🎵And I said what about the Fountainhead movie  
He said I think I remember the film line  
As I recall I think we both kinda liked it (even though Ayn Rand sucks)  
And I said well that’s one thing we’ve got 🎵

FN has been a pathetic, disingenuous troll from day one. I have no doubt that banning is in his near future.

Sometimes you can really be pathetic.

Have we ever interacted in any way other than you jumping out of the woodwork to call me a troll? Sorry, I am not disingenuous. I am not a troll, I just sometimes fail to control my irritation with some viewpoints. If you again see me “trolling” please do pipe up in the moment rather than wait for your generalized drive by shot. That might help set things right.
