There's a guy I interacted with on another forum who is a card-carrying Randian who insists that all morality reduces to rational self-interest, but it seems rational self-interest is still subject to the whim of "do X, otherwise you'll feel bad, and in your rational self-interest, you should not aim to feel bad."

When you've adopted a position that makes an otherwise useful term useless, I think you should rethink your analysis. But I might be misreading Fallible's intention: maybe it's just "be nice because you'll feel good about it", which I can't really criticise.
