And Stalin was an atheist

Though aren't you also equally guilty of what you're complaining about? You're dismissing Piekoff because he isn't what you view as what an Objectivist should be, despite being the founder of the Ayn Rand Institute and a key player in defining Objectivism. Is this not the same thing in reverse?

My last reply seems to have gone missing... sorry if I'm accidentally repeating myself. I'm not "dismissing" Piekoff, he was an Objectivist just like Stalin was an atheist. He is bonkers. You name me one group of people that doesn't have it's loons. Go on. What I'm saying is you're displaying the exact same dirty debating tactic that the "Stalin was an atheist" crowd uses when you invoke Piekoff 's name and ignore every other Objectivist. Why no mention, for example, of who I would argue is the number one face of Objectivism Yaron Brook? Answer: because he's sane.
