I was speaking on behalf of higher powers whose aesthetic dispositions
are not necessarily commensurate with my own. Some people have visions,
some play with snakes, some speak in tongues--I channel the moral and
artistic discrimiations of superinternetural beings. While I happen
generally to be ideologically aligned with them, their opinions and mine
have to be evaluated on an individual basis before any useful
pronouncements can be made about a positive or negative correlation in
specific instances.
While the discerning reader might have discovered in the meticulously
amibiguous syntax and diction some hint of personal scorn for Ayn Rand
and her fictions and philosophies, the plain text of the message aimed
only to advise the original poster of the scope and capacity of
potential replies, and though I cannot deny that my own experience with
Ayn Rand induced physical and psychological reactions something short of
felicitous, I do not recall having mentioned a hatred of that particular
book.
