From what I can tell Ayn Rand even took a dislike to many libertarians (and wouldn't call herself libertarian), anyone who would not totally accept her ideas was an opponent.

So did AJ. For the same reasons. He and Rand met for an 8 hour discussion back in '68. At that time he was going for a total private property position that was beyond what Ayn was willing to go. She subsequently wrote on her opposition to any kind of private police and army.

When people of similar viewpoints disagree, the fighting with each other often is more strenuous than their fights with the total opposite viewpoint.
