Nudge, the only reason I capitalized the term "Being-Itself", in one post, was to visually reference Heidegger for benefit of Objectivist. You could of course explain why you contradicted yourself rather than quibble now about my capitalization and spelling. Otherwise my point stands, the term "existence", as both you and Objectivist are using it, could also refer to being-itself.
(And yes, many philosophers capitalize Being to distinguish it as metaphysical principle, as opposed to a being. )
