>That stopped this month. On Dec. 6, Patreon kicked the anti-feminist polemic Carl Benjamin, who works under the name Sargon of Akkad, off its site for using racist language on YouTube.
The article says they barred an account for racist speech, but the article doesn't share the offending quote and without the accompanying context?
A personal attack, or ad hominem, attacks the character, motive, or other attribute of the person.
One can be a welfare recipient and be of excellent character and the article doesn't question her character. The article also doesn't say that Rand's being on welfare was any sort of motive for any sort of act.
No one is questioning her right to receive welfare having paid into the system.
The criticism the article brings is her evident hypocrisy for taking welfare after criticizing it for others. That she clearly didn't need it, that she and her followers kept this a secret only adds to that hypocrisy. That hypocrisy has bearing on her thought leadership. Yeah, it really does.
I will think about it :) I am a bit unhappy with gog after buying Spelunky there and seeing that some features (such as the daily challenge) are available only in the Steam version, but I guess this can be done better.

Classic case of dishonest media framing.
