I'm interested in discovering the value of the Gulch. I am going to take full advantage of the free membership for the following reasons; There must be value found by the Gulch in offering a free membership, for if there is none, then it is a foolish endeavor to undertake with the understanding that the Gulch has the power to revoke it. Further, if choosing the "Moocher" option is ultimately a contradiction of the objectivist philosophy, the Gulch has devalued its own service by not only allowing it to exist, but by actually creating it in the first place. There either IS value provided to the Gulch by creating a free membership option, or the Gulch is, itself, a depraved and diluted version of objectivism. My uncertainty regarding this matter stands as my reasoning for choosing the free membership option as stated in the opening line of this note: I'm interested in discovering the value of the Gulch.
