[Marsha]
I think your analogies are less successful than Bo's.  

[Arlo]
Like I said, if you prefer a map laden with untenable inconsistencies and
supported by perennial head burying, then I am sure you do. But at least I
don't have to dodge and evade simple questions about my analogies. Maybe you
should ask yourself why you do...

[Marsha]
Because we are suspended in language, the words 'Metaphysics of Quality' may
denote Reality as Quality . 

[Arlo]
"Denote" is the key word. But at least we agree that Pirsig's metaphysical
speculations are high-quality analogies about "reality", and not "reality
itself".

[Marsha]
Sorry, I disagree with your interpretation.  And you do not know what RMP saw. 
We can only interpret his words. 

[Marsha had said]
And I see no 'likeness' between your way of thinking and RMP's.

[Arlo replied]
Tell me some examples where you think this is the case.

[Marsha]
No, and I will not accept the statement on your authority either.   

[Arlo]
Well, since the last time you made a baseless accusation and then refused to
back it up, I shouldn't be surprised. You can make any accusation against me
you feel like, Marsha, but if you can't back it up, you are saying more about
yourself than me.
