Why did Rand kick Smith out of her Objectivist 'Collective'? Rand was notoriously petty and jealous (viz her break with Nathaniel Branden), was that part of it? Seems worthy of mention in this article. Benefac (talk) 18:53, 13 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, as heavily documented as that crowd is, I suspect there should be something in the literature; but of course it may be partisan from one side or the other. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:31, 13 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Best I can find on a quick search, Smith and her husband produced one of Rand's plays, and cut out a line because it kept getting inappropriate laughs, without consulting Her Holiness. Rand was greatly offended, and excommunicated the Smiths for lese majeste --Orange Mike | Talk 19:42, 13 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
