[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[david buchanan]

Platt, Marsha:
You guys really should think about getting a different hobby. Try a church. join a UFO club or maybe get yourself busy with the tea baggers. Anything unrelated to philosophy would be better for your temperament, attitudes and aptitudes. You're obviously unhappy in an environment like this, so why torture yourself? Seriously. What do you get out it? You're not learning or teaching or growing or anything. As I see it, you're just spreading grief and wasting time. Go find some happiness. Elsewhere.

Or at least take a few years off to think about it, eh?

The meaning is so explicit and so clear that there is just no way a reasonable person could reject it. And so you get accusations of stupidity and intellectual dishonesty as a reaction to that rejection. Anybody can make a mistake and we all have lots to learn but when these explanations have to be repeated over and over and over again - for years in some cases - people run out of patience. They get frustrated. That's just a natural reaction and the insulting conclusions reached about this stubbornness is not crazy, you know? Sadly, it's probably true. There might be other things going on too, but dishonesty and ignorance really would explain this persistent pattern of behavior. If anyone has a better explanation, I'd like to hear
