Yes, looks like it's one of those days on the internet.
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

That wasn't my doing, it was the doing of the self-obsessed at that site.
i dont mean to put words into your mouth i'm just trying to come to an understanding without conflict.. that said, those actions caused by a company owner for example CAN indeed cause harm to workers like for example if the factory shuts down in a town and most of the town works there but it all comes down to whether to take away freedoms to stop things like this happening or not, i'm on the side of not (which is an entirely different topic)
Not that the rule of law matters to those with greed on their mind.
At any rate, all of the so-called holes you're bringing up about Rand and her philosophy have all been addressed and answered satisfactorily in her own non-fiction writings, which you haven't read (like you say you did). Go do your homework and then come back to the masterclass.
Gotta love how some people can look directly at a huge zit on their face, and swear up and down it's not there. what people have "earned?" I notice that you are the one making that determnination. The people whose labor you stole en route to your "earning" may have a slightly different perspective on what the relationship was all about.
