I believe you mean "too self-centered" or "too self-important."
The word "selfish" is ambiguous in that some people use it to
mean petty self-importance, while others use it to mean
enlightened self-interest.

I can't remember advocating selfishness (in either of the two senses
I have described) on the net.  When did I do this?

Are you saying that Libertarianism entails advocacy of selfishness
(in either of the two meanings I have described)?  How so?
