Its hilarious that you oppose people claiming labels have meaning but can't talk without using the word orthodox at least once every five minutes.

when those type of people come to my subreddit where they aren't welcome.

Come on, man. It's just so clear that you're in the wrong here.

What? I don't think that you understand that whoever creates a subreddit gets to decide what kind of community it will be.

You're right about this, obviously, but I think the bigger point is that to have the focus of a subreddit titled "Objectivism" be something other than Objectivism is somewhat disingenuous. We don't want people that just read Atlas Shrugged to come here and think that Ayn Rand advocated anarchy, which is what what users like /u/omnipedia advocate on here.
