Attacking poster, not post:

Neo is struggling to discredit Objectivism by saying it's fiction, rather than by discussing or arguing any real ideas he might have.

Maybe it's because he doesn't have any.

Emphasis added. Mods only please.

Forgive me, but I really don't see how saying "he doesn't have any [ideas]" is a flame, or at least one worth any notice. Saying that you have 'no idea' what you're talking about is practically every second post on NSG.

It's more than the words. It's the intention and context and the general nature of the poster that is taken into account.
