I think it's disgusting the way these objectivists like Jason V. Robertson
propose the malicious beating of dogs & cats. What would Elroy Hubbard say
if he knew what his followers were doing?

Please edit your headers. This has nothing to do with alt.atheism.
Thank you.

Very funny, mister "ted frank" of "the law skool,"
if that is your real name, you don't fool any of
us with your senseless "troll." Go back to your
little playground with the rest of the kiddies.

It is "Ayn Rand," and she was an author, not the
founder of objectivism. That's a philosophical
stance which is very old. And Hubbard wrote
Dianetics, which has nothing to do with the
Church of Scientology. Those are the people who
won't let their children have operations because
prayer is suppossed to save them.

Get your facts straight, mister "ted frank" of
"the law skool," and learn to spel!

Yeah, but what's your Publius number? That's
what I want to know.

Again I have removed alt.feminism, since they
shouldn't be subjected to your "drivel."

Hmm. Should learn to use ispell before you post. I don't, but then
again, I wasn't the one who was spell-flaming.

Tabdamage and your .sig file could use a diet. You must be a very
pessimistic person, to put all those minuses in there. You obviously
practice what you quote.

was right... no, we can't start *that* again...

Yes, you have been trolled. Also, you misspelled
"I have been trolled." Perhaps if you used the
CAPS LOCK key a little more your posts would be
more impressive and dazzling. Hang around on
alt.atheism and you will see how CONSPICUOUS
CAPITAL LETTERS lend an air of AUTHENTICITY and
AUTHORITY to your writing.

Tab damage could use a diet? Huh? Perhaps you
require professional help. Tab damage is an
unlimited source of potential energy (just see
how much effort it can produce on alt.warlord),
and not something that can go on a "diet."

But this is alt.atheism, so you must mean "deity."
Are you postulating a typographical god? You are
bordering on net.loon, Roman.

No tab damage in my .sig. I scoff at you twice,
sir! You must be using "trumpet" or some other
vile Mac'ish newsreader with those obscene
proportional fonts.

You are clearly at odds with the "inner thetan."
To help you I have kindly directed followups to
alt.religion.scientology. They are trained to
help you.

> Roman

To you, Roman, I say "flapdoodle!"

Disclaimer: I have not been trolled. Anything in
this post which appears to indicate that I have been
trolled is actually a cleverly disguised troll in
itself. This is the "troll in itself," i.e., the
objective troll you have been hearing so much about
on alt.philosophy.objectivism. Do not be confused
by imitations.

Erm... sorry, Stacy, but that bunch of psychos is the Christian
Scientists. Scientology grew out of Dianetics, and was indeed headed
by Hubbard. It clkaims such members as Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, and
A. E. van Vogt (I think; certainly, he did a lot of wrok on
Dianetics).

Ummm... That was Robert A. Heinlein, "Stranger in a Strange Land" and
the word was "grok". That or you were just kidding, right?
