<<<"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.">>>

"I have never called someone evil because they did not conform."

To your arbitrarily derived moral construct? You certainly have and it is dishonest for you to deny it.

<<<"Again you (and Rand) try to sneak the move from personal subjectively derived purpose to imposing moral obligations onto others through the back door">>>

"Your assertion does not relate to anything you have demonstrated. Indeed, it is bit of contrived nonsense unrelated to anything in my posts. More evidence that... "

Dishonesty and an insult... There is a pattern there and it's just a way for you to avoid the issue.

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

"I almost missed seeing this seemingly meaningless blurb at page bottom."

It's hardly meaningless to ask if you are an Objectivist when that is the subject at hand and you are defending that position.

"the answer is, NO. ... I think this is the most logical view of the matter at this point in time."

Forgive me for noting that you are more than a little confused. You are not an Objectivist even though you believe that Objectivism is "the most logical view of the matter at this point in time"? What irrational urge prevents you from being an Objectivist?
