<<<You do know that capitalizing entire sentences is considered SHOUTING>>>

"If you are a CHILD, yes..."

It's refreshing to see you finally admit your childishness.

<<<I understand well enough that an individual subjects intention equals a subjective purpose, not a universally objective one that one can be imposed as an obligations on others>>>

"NOTHING can be "imposed" on others except through force."

Denouncing and calling someone evil (as both you and Rand have done) because they do not conform to your arbitrarily derived moral construct is to use force.

"When a person uses logic and objectivity to choose an intention or meaning, that person has chosen purpose. Purpose does NOT impose obligation on anyone.."

Again you (and Rand) try to sneak the move from personal subjectively derived purpose to imposing moral obligations onto others through the back door and hope that no one is paying attention. Throwing up smoke and wildly waving your arms in the air is a certain sign that you have already recognized that your position is without merit.

<<<So are you an Objectivist yourself?>>> ????
