You didn't make anyone do anything - they come here by their own free will and choice - and if they leave, it's again, by their own will and free choice. Blaming someone else's post for leaving - is the quintessential looter/moocher trick - to make you feel ***---GUILTY---*** and there by (a) strengthening their own fallacy that they won, and (b) hopefully getting you from being a rational objectivist that loves their own life to a pandering looter who hates themselves.

Someone wants to leave - then it's their issue, and if they want t blame someone for their decision, I say, ahem, "Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish!!!" (I would use much harsher language, but common decency makes me bite my tongue on that!)

Mamaenma, you did not "make" anyone leave. as Susanne points out they stay or leave at their own free will and free choice. Numerous people have made comments on my posts, that I guess some would take offense to, whine cry and say boo hoo they offended me, but I do not simply because their view is their view and everyone is completely entitled to their view. If you cannot take the heat get out of the kitchen. Again your own personal free will, will determine that.

Free will, and individual choice is one of the hallmarks of objectivism, provided that choice is made by reason.

I did not want to make anybody feel bad. For me it was do I want to spend my time reading about stuff or living the gulch. They did not consider me a moocher when I bought all the gear and blue ray set.

How original.
