If you want the opportunity to prove how big of a stud you are through physical combat, I’m willing to give it to you (no weapons allowed). PM me.
I’m doing a pretty shitty job of playing a Randian, seein’ as how I’ve disavowed the central tenet of Randianism.
Your privilege. Want to meet me at a dopefest?
It’s Objectivism, moron. Randianism is worship of James Randi, a far worthier undertaking, though The Amazing himself doesn’t approve of it at ALL.
I don’t do dopefests.
I used the term Randian first, and while you’re free to call me a moron, I think you’ll find that “Randian” is a term that is usually associated with an admiration of Rand.
Thanks jsgoddess.
Rubystreak, you have broken our truce (i.e., where we agreed not to shit on each other for no good reason). It is ON like Ramadan!
Well, assume that you do. If you did, given that I am (in your eyes) a worse person, would you be willing to attend a dopefest that I tried to start?
If you’ll apply your feelings towards me to my feelings towards Rand Rover, then I think we’re done here.
Of course.
OK. I don’t get it, but . . . OK.
Well, if rand somehow gets to a dopefest, and if the dope is a microcosm of America, as most of you lefties believe, then he will for sure note that obesity is a major problem.
How will Obamacare address this? What say you?
The pics don’t lie.
Suck on that!
Everybody knows that curlcoat is the woman for you!
While “Randian” may denote admiration of Rand, Objectivism is the name of the philosophy, not “Randianism,” which is what that other maroon said. Don’t try to take a bullet for him. He doesn’t repay kindness with kindness, as I found out the hard way.
We had a truce? Really? And if you consider THAT shitting on you for no good reason and not, well, a fucking JOKE, you should invest in a thicker skin. Surely some poor person has one you could buy cheap. This is the second time you’ve gotten all butthurt over a joke. Maybe the Pit isn’t for you, eh?
I’m not taking a bullet for anyone. He used the term in direct reply to me and “Randian” and “Objectivist” are not completely synonymous. I used the first term, not the second.
So pretty much “this town aint big enough for the both of us!”
I didn’t call you a moron, did I? And I was kidding around with old Rover, I guess I do need to point that out lest even more people take offense at a whole lot of nothing, really.
Randianism and Objectivism are essentially the same thing. Objectivism is what it’s usually called. Don’t ask me why I know this. I’d really rather forget. But anyway, yeah, bullshit by any other name…
I think you should all have a Dope-fest but with no usernames and no name tags. You meet up in a room at a bar that has been set aside for dopers, you get in by knowing a password that has been published in a thread on the SDMB. Then once you’re in, there’s just a group of people, you don’t know who’s who and have no preconceptions about anyone, you’re forced to take people at face value. Sure some of you will have met before so you’ll be at an advantage.
Free drink for someone who correctly guesses the username of someone else.
Hi, I’m Frank.
Maybe I’m just fortunate, but I’ve never met anyone like Rand Rover in real life. So I’ll have to assume that he isn’t really exactly as his persona on these message boards. So if I lived close enough, I might be tempted to just stop by out of curiosity to check it out. Isn’t anyone else curious?
ETA: Oh yeah, and he seems entertaining enough to carry a lot of threads here, so that’s something.
You’re disqualified.
