Just found a forum stricter than Revleft

[Manic Impressive]

The Forum for Ayn Rand fans :laugh:

check out some of the things you can get moderated for


a. Bad grammar and spelling. Most people make the effort to properly spell, capitalize, and punctuate when they are writing something important. When they do not make the effort, it gives the impression that their writing is not important, their readers are not important, and/or the posters are lazy. Two sentences into a sloppy post, many readers will give up on both the post and the poster.

c. Poor online writing style. This includes excessive quoting, big paragraphs, overuse of abbreviations and other things that make a posting hard to read.

d. Spelling Objectivism or Objectivist with a small "o". Objectivism is a proper noun denoting the philosophy of Ayn Rand and Objectivist, in some contexts, is a registered trademark of the Estate of Ayn Rand. With a small "o" it could be one of many philosophies that take different positions from Ayn Rand on philosophical issues. On THE FORUM we always use the capital "O" for accuracy and to show respect for Ayn Rand's philosophy.

e. Referring to Ayn Rand as "Ayn." If you were not on a first name basis with Miss Rand while she was alive, this is very disrespectful. Use "Ayn Rand" or "Miss Rand" (not "Ms. Rand") instead.

They talk about poor composition and miss out 'b.'

Also, nobody takes it as a mark of disrespect for me to refer to Marx as 'Grandpa Karl,' do they?

[Manic Impressive]

I didn't copy the b as it was just about profanity

but here ya go


b. Profanity. There are definitely occasions for what Ayn Rand called "the kind of language I do not like to see in print" -- but not on THE FORUM. If you want to express profound and extreme evaluations, be clever and create your own alternatives to the usual overused and offensive curse words.

Holy shit. I KNEW IT. RANDROIDS ARE GRAMMAR NAZIS. They're all a grammar Nazi conspiracy. I know this because I have a Randroid friend who is a hardcore Grammar Nazi and MY SUSPICIONS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED.

You probably get banhammered so hard if you say "randroid"..... lmfao

Randanistas make my ass pucker :( I clicked the link to get to the site but couldn't get myself to click around that site. I'll admit that I've read her fictional work. . .and maybe one non fiction book. I was like "wtf?"

I am so tempted to sticky this as a reminder of exactly how even-handed our guidelines are. We could demand proper spelling and grammar, as well as warn or infract for profanity, poor writing style, or irreverently referring to communist and anarchist thinkers in diminutive or familial terms.

But all we really ask is that you don't fling your own poo at others.

And you still can't quite handle that. :rolleyes:

I credit hindsight20/20 for coming up with that term. Really clever IMO but non-commies/revlefters aren't gonna get it. Lol. It is much better than grammar nazi.

[Angry Young Man]

What do they do if you're not a fascist?

Is there someone called 'I am a fascist, I promise'?

[Dr Mindbender]

Ive noticed their banner contains an illustration of the interior of Rand's cold, icy heart.

Well that is apt.

They dont have an OI or OI equivalent so they're afraid of conflicting views and its basically just one big cappie circle jerk.

Nothing to see here.

It should be "poor grammar" instead of "bad grammar"....

I intentionally mispronounce Ol' Randy's name whenever I say it aloud. Although it appears the practice of a party line followed her from Russia.

Also, this:

Yet even within their URL they choose to use '4' as opposed to 'for'... Although discipline in relation to proper spelling and grammar shouldn't be frowned upon when it is done to a degree in which it is not imposed as a mandatory standard.

I don't know why RevLeft doesn't routinely refer to itself as THE FORUM...that would be cool...

[Pioneers_Violin]

Well, at least she was an Atheist!
I seem to remember reading about her annoying some Christian Conservatives shortly after emigrating to America. She had said something like "You're way too intelligent to believe in a God" and forever earned their scorn.

But, wow, that forum, Oops, THE FORUM is a hard read.

Everyone links to something else and uses short, cryptic comments.
Judging from the inmates, "Randroids" seems apt.

Worse, there's no clear dissertation on topics like Ayn's politics for example.
Oops again! I meant "Miss Rand's politics" :rolleyes:

Just one page of Wikipedia trumps that entire site. :lol:

Maybe I'll read one of her books sometime. After I finish something important and significant like Capital.

4 like a bunch of time, u guyz been asking: Who the fuck is John Galt? I are John Galt and I are speaking. I am a man (i thinks) who loves his life (Don't want to die!!!). I am a man (once again i thinks, not sure) who DO NOT WANT sacrifice his love or his values. I am the guy who took away ur victims and you all like "WAAHHH, I HATE YOU" and i was totally like "deal with it", and if you wish to know why you is dieing -you are not smart like me-I am a man who tell you.”

Ok, I showed this forum to my randroid friend who is also a Grammar nazi and even he found it too strict because of posting restrictions or something. They really blew it.

[Manic Impressive]

Did you read the whole thread?

I should add that it was a downright pleasure http://forums.4aynrandfans.com/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif and privilege (as opposed to a "right") to have "served" in the military, as I'm happy to have seen one of my own rounds kill a Communist. Others I can't prove but I'm betting the ones I fired in return at bushes, trees and darkness from where the enemy fire was coming killed more Communists. There is some evidence in blood trails and one single enemy left (the entire squad fired the night before on intense more-than-one enemy attack) the next day when we found the corpse with a booby-trapped rifle -- dead.

I find it sad and funny that out of all of the rebuttals to the OP, not a single post mentioned the simple fact that AIDs aren't exclusive to homosexual people. There is no picture on the internet that can represent how big of a facepalm that thread is.

Aynie Ranie herself was a rampant homophobe([T]o proclaim spiritual sisterhood with lesbians... is so repulsive a set of premises from so loathsome a sense of life that an accurate commentary would require the kind of language I do not like to see in print." "[homosexuality] is immoral, and more than that; if you want my really sincere opinion, it's disgusting."), not to mention her views on women("an ideal woman is a man-worshipper, and an ideal man is the highest symbol of mankind.")

I saw a post on there when I was first looking around where a guy said he was saving the lives of Africans by selling them grain and the lives of South American farmers by buying their produce. He really thought he was some sort of god with the power of life and death in his hands, makes me sick.

[Princess Luna]

I actually saw a Objectivist forum once, where they were discussing (i shit you not) why America should nuke Iran, which not only is repulsive on multiple levels, it goes against the supposed idea of Objectitivism because it involves grouping everybody who lives in Iran as a enemy rather then acknowlaging them as individuals! oh and the majority of people in that thread supported it

[Pioneers_Violin]

One of those charming perps...oops! peeps has this as a sig:

"The greatest productive force is human selfishness, R. Heinlein"

:crying::huh::confused::(

Ummm.... I thought Randroids professed Reason?

It doesn't take a genius to see that selfishness only takes and seldom if ever produces.

Mental image: Randroids have just got to be like those silly skeletal robots in Star Wars... the ones that say "Roger Roger" a lot.

added: Their Facebook "Top 5 Heros" Poll doesn't seem to have an entry for Stalin, Marx or Lenin! darn.

Wow. You must not be in the military. If you were, you would probably know that applicants who test positive for HIV are not allowed to join the Armed Forces. If you test positive for HIV while you're serving, you have to go through further testing/evaluation and may be limited to certain duties (for obvious reasons).

The military already addresses this issue in a much better way than it could by simply denying service to homosexuals. There are heterosexuals with HIV/AIDS too.

Also, please define "too common". Just exactly what percentage of homosexuals do you think are HIV/AIDS positive?
