Ayn Rand
Blue Kitty:
I think it was some amount of cash and a chance to talk to her about the book, but you had to write a rather comprehensive essay on it
Storm Rider:
What the fuck? Ayn Rand has been dead for years.

--- Quote from: Storm Rider on 26 Aug 2007, 19:04 ---Ayn Rand was a hack who dedicated her life to constructing straw men defenses for acting like a complete jackass.
--- End quote ---
She's also guilty of circular reasoning and begging the question.
Storm Rider:
Are you agreeing with me, or accusing me of those fallacies? Because if you really want, I can go through and explain specifically why Ayn Rand is a hack and tried to justify acting like a jackass, but I felt that my original statement sufficiently answered the question "Should I read anything by Ayn Rand?".
Mnementh:
I thought it was pretty clear, since I used the pronoun she while quoting you and you're a dude, that I was pointing other logical fallacies that Ms. Rand was guilty of.
I'm agreeing with you.
