I have not conceded your points. I put the word "exaggerates" in quotes because it was used by another poster on this thread, at least partly in deference to you I'd guess, and I don't actually agree with it, which you might have surmised. Actually she states her case in the strongest terms Logically possible as often as possible, which apparently "feels" so disagreeable to you that you are blinded to an honest examination of the logic therein. I "feel"(teehee!) that I have logically established her statement as quite true- as is her premise. You have repeatedly ignored points I have made, and instead turned to plain disagreeable statements without foundation or reference. You contradicted yourself when you did get to the point of the matter- and you ignore rather than admit it. Your original post was nothing but statement of opinion without foundation; a blasphemous all-Rand encompassing statement which put you in the unenviable position of having to prove a negative- which was your first mistake. It was nothing but a long argument "to the man"(woman in this case), and you haven't yet admitted that it was. You hypocritically attacked me for turning your words against her- onto you- and ignore rather than admit that you did. Fine. You have not demonstrated that she took a "falsehood as her premise," you have only stated that it is so without further foundation, or you claim I stated it is so, which, despite all my talk of false premises, I did not say. You are blinded by your prejudice from gleaning anything of value from someone many believe is one of the most important writers of this or any century. In my opinion, it is your loss. I shall happily agree to disagree with you.
