Are you in the habit of changing accusations when the one made before doesn't stick?

Rand didn't celebrate the individual - she celebrated individualism. That means she did not have to give her respect and association to any and all individuals but was free to choose among them. She chose the like-minded. What's so terrible about that?

And yes, I have read many of the ad-hominem attacks on Rand like the one you presented. I find them to be curiously lacking in any criticism of her philosophy.
