[MD] The SOM/MOQ discrepancy.

[Andre Broersen]

Ham:

So, you are not allowed to "contradict yourself" or change your thinking
without the MoQ?   That's odd, because I've never bought into the MoQ, yet
have changed my thinking many times.

Andre:

There have been places I have worked (welfare, education, youth employment
programs etc) where such behaviours as I describe tends to label one
'unreliable', 'flippant', 'non-sensible', 'illogical and generally
'unstable'.

Ham:

Judging by the triple question marks, I take it that this is meant to be a
profoundly challenging question.  I'll admit I'm curious to know how you can
call me a socialist, considering that I'm usually characterized here, along
with Platt, as a right-wing conservative!  Pray tell me what has led you to
this ridiculous assertion.  Is it your way of getting back at me for calling
you an 'objectivist'?

Andre:

You appear to have taken this as a derogatory remark but there is no offence
intended Ham. For me a socialist is simply a human being with a strong sense
of decent human values, such as caring and sharing.
You appear to me to have those characteristics: your posts are always
thoughtful, considerate, patient, polite etc.I believe you have never lost
your temper and have never been, at east from my point of view, insulting to
anyone.
You share your views, you put them in essay form and make them available to
everyone and all this for nothing.
I know plenty of persons who would not do so...they would set up their own
little consultancy bureau and start charging the minute you walk in the
door.
That you cannot be convinced of the MoQ is quite another matter. You have
every right to do so.

And as for 'getting back' at you. No Ham, I do not hold grudges, not to
anyone, although I must admit I can be my own worst enemy at times... but do
not think I am an 'objectivist'.....really.
And regarding the 'right-wing conservative' bit, I thought you had described
yourself as such but I can be mistaken not having been long on this
Discuss.
