Since when is it pathological to hate Ayn Rand? Is it not more
pathological to tell an email writer to stop free speech? Wait a moment -
I think I get it now. You are hinting that Ayn Rand and free speech do not
go together! Well, fancy that!

By the way, I excluded Saint Thomas Aquinas from the list of Creative
Geniuses by mistake. He was definitely a Creative Genius. Compared to
him, Ayn Rand - well, I have to watch out for libel laws, but you know what
I mean, eh?
