[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[X Acto]

Platt:
SOM is the current mental framework and means of communication in which we operate from day to day....

Pirsig:
I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS IS INCORRECT because many forms of intellect do not have a subject-object construction.. (My emphasis)

Horse:
This is crystal clear, no interpretation necessary. Platt champions Bo's position, Pirsig thinks it's incorrect. Full stop. Period. End of conversation. Whether Pirsig is correct or not is irrelevant. He doesn't agree with Bo's position. Bo should defend his own position, in opposition to Pirsigs view on it's own merit and not dishonestly distort Pirsigs position.
Bo should not continue to remain in denial about what is obvious to anyone who can read. This is why I have asked him to refrain from saying that Pirsig agrees with something that he quite plainly disagrees with. This is not censorship, it is intellectual honesty and good manners.

Ron:
I believe this is my biggest gripe against Bodvars position, honesty. I agree, he should be allowed to argue his position, but as yet he has been
unable to. His position is clearly different than Bob's  and those here that side with Bob do so because it is consistant with his whole body of work.
This itself holds a great deal of relevancy. Those that side with Bodvar have yet to present any kind of consistant relevant meaning to the whole
of the work. Nothing but interpretations of select Pirsig quotes that are inconsistent with the remainder of the work. Leaving one to question
the justifications of those who side with this arguement since their reasons do not seem to be connected with Pirsigs reasons. 

Again, it's dishonest to openly misrepresent someones work, even if you do disagree. Some think that MoQ is the justification to say
anything you like. It's not. Those that take truth as relative neglect the good.
