You should read the beginning of Daniels’ piece and think abut it.

Anyone who actually looks at what Ayn Rand said, whether they disagree or not, can easily see that she was against censorship. She believed that human individuals are capable of acting for human life, capable of understanding if they use the thinking that enables life in reality – in fact she urged people not to simply believe what she said but to check it out and think for themselves, as readers of Daniels’ your articles should do.

In contrast her enemies such as Marxists and religionists strongly censor.

So Daniel’s writing starts off as a smear campaign based on fantasy not on reality. Much like conspiracy theories do.

It is easy to write words that sound good to certain mentalities, very difficult to write clearly based on fact. If you want to run a blog shouldn’t you aspire to the latter? Of course you’d be emulating Ayn Rand in that capability. ;-)
