There's not one syllable in the hoax paper which is personal  in that it is
attacking, insulting, threatening, abusive, or in any sense  denigrating to
anyone let alone Anthony.

[Arlo]
Then what do the syllables do? What value do they add to the MOQ?

[Mark]
You've lapsed into nonsense now. This is gibberish.

[Arlo]
Gibberish? I think the question is straightforward. If there is "not one
syllable" that is personal in that is attacking, insulting, etc. What do those
syllables do? (See this is merely a play on your words) Do they advance the
MOQ? Do they point out intellecutal flaws? Do they add value?

You keep saying this, "it happened". Okay. It happened. The information is
readily available, any reasonable person would conclude that it is only a few
clicks away from Ant's site. Why is it so critical Ant advertise it? Just
becaue "it happened"? Sorry, I don't feel Ant's integrity suffers because he
doesn't feel he should personally advertise someone's attempt to ridicule him.
Indeed, I am absolutely indifferent to it. I could care less if he puts it up
or refuses to acknowledge it, because it is a meaningless incident that does
nothing for the philosophy. All it does is speak to social jealousy and
conflict. What information do I think newbies need? Supportive information.
Reasoned statements of opposition. Papers that advance the MOQ, deal with its
shortcomings, integrate it into other bodies of thought and modes of action.
That you find it _so_ necessary that a newcomer know Ant got scammed, just
because "it happened", is to me an empty, meaningless battle. But it is your
right to wage it. 

[Mark]
Adhering to personalities forms the basis for cults. If you fail to present
sound intellectual arguments and simply rally to a personality because that
personality has made a buffoon of itself, you may be actually reinforcing a
cult of personality rather than intellectual truth. Think about it.

[Arlo]
That's insulting, Mark. 

[Mark]
I am beginning to wonder how far intelligent people like yourself are prepared
to go with this? Earlier on in this thread you began Arlo your approach was
measured and assured. As it has progressed you have multiplied the questions
and become increasingly incoherent.

[Arlo]
Nice talking to you, Mark.
