[MD] Platt and Arlo: Individuals and Collectives Redux

[Michael Hamilton]

Hi Arlo

> A polite way of saying, "shut the f&#$ up!"?? :-)

Heheh... kinda. But the last thing I want you and Platt to do is shut
up. You've both written lots of stuff I've found interesting. It was
more a way of saying: "You've been having the same argument since I
joined the MD (and probably before that, too). Wouldn't you rather
move on?"

The way I see it, the acrimony occurs because you despise Rand (I
sympathise), and Platt despises Soviet communism (I sympathise). And
when either of you perceives the voice of Rand or Stalin, you bristle.
Platt isn't Rand - Rand is SOM to the core, for a start. And I'm
pretty sure you're not Stalin, either ;-)

Regards,
Mike
