For a controversial figure surprisingly little controversy After hearing the founder of wikipedia was an Objectivist I had visited this page a few of years ago to see if it biased in favor of his views At that time there was a lot more in the article about criticisms and controversy After perusing it I was satisified that it presented a pretty even handed portrayal Reviewing it now it appears to be pretty sanitized The word cult isn t used once I know it appears in the article on objectivism but it seems relevant here as well and the philosophical criticisms have been truncated considerably I know Objectivism enjoys a large following on the Internet but it dismays me that it has such a stifling effect on these kind of articles
