[MD] An Observation From An Outsider

[Andre Broersen]

Platt to Andre:
Can you explain the difference between an idea spoken and a hateful
idea spoken?

Andre:
What are you trying to do Platt? What is your game? This really is becoming
silly. I have never suggested I am a 'paragon of open-mindedness. I wouldn't
dare cos I don't know what it is to have an 'open mind'. I ask questions to
learn from others, you ask questions to divert, trick, tripple, trap, avoid
and generally fob off. I think this is a shame.

We're on a philosophical discussion panel here. Nobody knows the full
inside-outs of the MoQ nor its implications. I thought we were here to
explore those, carry with us and, where appropriate apply through our heart,
head and hands.

I am interested in the 'other'. It seems to me that you are not Platt. You
constantly seek justification of your 'own' ideology by selectively
(ab)using the words of Mr. Pirsig. I simply call this into question and ask
you to own up. If this makes me the 'paragon of openmindedness' then I plead
guilty. I keep my mind open, I don't necessarily have one!

You are a party pooper Platt. Just as I hope for an answer to a
question...you chicken out. Pity, cos I do think you have interesting things
to offer other than selective quotes. (Or should I ask, in desparation as
Lennon did of McCartney:'You must have learned something in all these
years').
