Platt
If someone is serious about a position that they hold and wishes to 
participate in a discussion forum where they put forward that position 
and wish for it to be taken seriously then it is reasonable to assume 
that they will answer questions about that position.
If they are talking crap and just want to witter and waffle about this 
and that and play stupid games then I no longer consider them to be 
serious about their position. and as such see them as an unnecessary and 
pointless annoyance on this list.
This is exactly where Marsha is at the moment.
So while there is nothing in the rules that states explicitly that a 
participant is obliged to answer another's questions there is also 
nothing to prevent me from removing a person from the list who I feel is 
abusing the principles of participation on this list.
So, for the umpteenth time, this list is for the discussion of Robert 
Pirsigs MoQ - it is not some playground for people with nothing better 
to do than play stupid games.
