Bob has abandoned his old friends at HPO. :-( He is currently a regular
poster to this forum:
http://www.objectivistliving.com/forums/index.php
He posts under an alias. See if you can spot him. I think you will know
the lion by his claw.

That's a relief. I was afraid that he might be ill or dead. I always
enjoyed his uninhibited, yet civil style.

One Objectivist board is enough for me. Good luck to Bob.

I miss him too, the last time I looked (over a year) the other
Objectivists didn't think he was a good Objectivist.

I don't think Bob has ever characterized himself as an Objectivist.

Oh, but anti-Objectivists loved to claim him as one! And two of them
here miss him so much.
My mistake, I forgot that. I know Bob is one-of-a-kind, as all of us
are.
There is a blogger on Blogspot who wrongly characterizes Kolker as a
Randroid. I believe it was on the Randzapper blog.
Kolker reminded me of Roark; original, self-confident, and rational.
Don't get carried away.
(Since he is not dead I can say anythig I want!)

"The only way to quell an Islamic domain is to eliminate it in the
entirety. Had we 20 A-Bombs instead of 2 in WW2 we would have killed
10-20 million Japs. Back then we had the will, but did not have the
means. Now, we have the means to eliminate ALL our enemies.
Unfortunately we don't have the will." --- Roark or Kolker?

Oh, anti-Objectivists love to claim Kolker as an Objectivist!
Sounds like Kolker.
> M Purcell: horse's ass or horse's ass?
Are you capable of any other type of argument?
> Oh, anti-Objectivists love to claim Kolker as an Objectivist!
Do tell.
I'm one of those. ("So much" may be exaggerated. He did'n't like me
either.) I know that he is a liberatrian of sorts. not an
Objectivist.
You are following Rand's advice to judge but from your gut. That is
not how she intended it. She wanted you to be objective and tell the
truth.

Kolker could be pretty bad. Never as bad as you, though.

It is interesting that although Kolker denied often enough that he was
an Objectivist, he is held as one by anti-Objectivists when they think
they can get away it. This is like the MSM picking out the one person
wearing a controversial T-shirt (maybe interpreted as racist or nazi)
in a crowd of thousands of Tea-Party protestors. Kolker only agreed
with some of the superficial aspects of political Objectivism (like
Agent Cooper, for example) and agreed with rational egoism generally
but was decidedly anti-Objectivist in all other respects (like Agent
Cooper, for example).

A little troll like you is unable to discern the difference.
True to form, you misuse, probably deliberately so, the word
"objective" as it is used in Objectivism.
Establishing a dialog with those who refuse the purpose of
establishing a dialog is fruitless. Rand and Objectivists generally
have had a different POV from me with respect to those who refuse
dialog by pursuing a sort of benign neglect, though certainly rarely
is the same treatment returned in kind, whereas I , as can be
practicably accomplished, prefer clear recognition and treatment of
the malignancy.
Kolker did have this same POV as I, but not being an Objectivist (at
all), he never turned his attention to anti-Objectivists, but rather,
more often, to anti-semites and, sometimes, anti-libertarians and,
rarely, to Objectivists, over metaphysics .
Appartently ad hominems are all you are capable of.
Who said anything about you being a homo?
How old are you?
Why? Are you *actually* a homo looking for a good time?
Hominis jus homo animus supremus est.
Just estimating your IQ, you seem to have the intellectual abilities

We are given to understand, however, that you have disappointed even
the lowest of low in that capacity.
ok, I looked at that, and I give up... how about a
clue? I searched "let's nuke a billion muslims to paradise
immediately", but no luck...

He's been pretty active in the Ethics forum lately. Also, as Mal said,
