Also thanks for not buying the BoMOQ nonsense, it's MOQ's heart and soul we
fight for ... lest the gang of four renders it a travesty.

See, its this kind of dishonesty that leaves only a couple of people taking you
seriously.

Bo's MOQ is DISTINCT from Pirsig's MOQ. Pirsig has said quite clearly that he
does NOT regard the intellectual level as SOM. That is YOUR interpretation
DESPITE what he himself says he has meant.

So stop this dishonesty and take the argument to its only valid foundation. You
feel YOUR MOQ is better than Pirsig's MOQ. Go ahead and have that argument, but
stop trying to revise Pirsig to try to claim that your MOQ is what "meant" (if
only he were smart enough to understand what he was saying).

According to Pirsig the intellectual level is NOT SOM.

According to Bo, the intellect level IS SOM.

Pirsig's MOQ is not Bo's MOQ. They are competing ideas. Have them compete, but
stop the dishonest rhetoric.
