Don't sweat it, Ron. Meaning is all that matter, and your posts rank among the more enjoyable and interesting here. Certainly do not let Bo's obtuseness push you away, he's been pushing his re-interpretation of the MOQ since day one. If you expect to make headway there, you're only in for a letdown. As with Ham, you have to realize what he is arguing his own "metaphysics", not Pirsig's. If his comments about you "not understanding" Pirsig get under your skin, shrug it off, its actually funny because his own derivation of Pirsig's ideas stems from his own misunderstanding of Pirsig's ideas. So take that with the proverbial grain of salt. Nothing wrong, I'll emphasize, in disagreeing with Pirsig. Most people here find at least one point of contention, but the whole "you don't understand HIM because you disagree with ME" is just nonsense. You can't have it both ways. You can't say, "this is what Pirsig said, and its wrong" but then turn around and say that
"because you don't agree with my correction of Pirsig, you obviously don't understand what Pirsig said". The point of argument is that you DO understand what Pirsig said, and that is leading you into conflict with Bo's "corrected MOQ". Anyways, its funny and all, but hardly worth letting it get to you.
