[MD] Some historical perspective

[X Acto]

Matt said:
Wait, are you making a joke about Ron's very odd denial 
of telling people the authority he's quoting?

Ron said:
My very odd denial was in response to recognizing the 
particular rhetorical devices employed by their request.
(this Charlie Brown is tellin lucy to find another sucker).

Matt:
Fair enough.  I have to say, as rowdy as Marsha can get, 
I saw none of it in that particular request, the rhetorical 
device appeared to be what they call a "question," it 
seemed quite polite, your response seemed out of 
nowhere, and--on top of all that--I cannot for life of me 
imagine why someone would quote without attribution: if 
the whole idea of bringing outsides authorities in is to 
bolster your argument, or whatever, lack of attribution 
just makes them your words, in an odd kind of stealing 
(for no apparent reason).

It's just weird, and I was wondering the same thing as 
Marsha.  The large blockquotes with no attribution have 
the effect of gusts of wind through a conversation: 
meaningless, and a little annoying.

Ron:
Every quote that is not agreed with or runs counter to her position
are gusts in the wind.was'nt going to go down that road again with her Matt.
sorry if you think it was out of line,I felt My source mattered little in the conversation
Marsha repeatedly stated she has no time for any sort of authoritative quotes,
they are meaningless to her, so I took her request as a rhetorical device to shut me up.

"The only opinion of my interpretation that could move me would be that of
Mr. Pirsig, and he has not stated an objections."

But your definition is relative to your "take", not mine, not even the
infamous Wiki's.

Rorty says?  You must be kidding!  Has Rorty become King of the World?  
Has Rorty replaced Wikipedia?

Marsha:
See what?  You've offered words, and I do see them as evidence

You constant presentation of wiki-thought, and lack of original 
explanation is boring...
