[MD] re Bodvar

[Andre Broersen]

Bodvar:

No offense intended, but like your neighbor Andre Broersen you first
praise me, but is then lured by DMB's sly writings and start an anti-Bo
campaign.

Andre:
Hi Bodvar, I am not on an 'anti-Bo campaign'. I criticize your interpretation of the intellectual level. I criticize your IDEA, your THEORY and your almost incomprehensibly confusing arguments to sustain it. I do this on the basis of Mr. Pirsig's 2 books and comments and annotations.

Dmb's writings are not 'sly', I find them very intelligent, clarifying and therefore useful. They have a high quality content because they remain true to the MOQ. Dave is a good man (to use Mr. Pirsig's words).

Yes, I did praise you Bodvar..., until your rantings against Mr. Pirsig and his own MOQ began to diverge so much that I did not recognize the MOQ in LILA anymore. That was the time to think and reflect and also to realize I did not have a good grasp of the MOQ. So I simply went back to basics, re-read ZMM and LILA, and lots more, and found nothing to support your notion of the intellectual level.

But you have said it repeatedly; you do not believe in the root expansion of rationality which Phaedrus accomplished, you equate the MOQ with reality itself i.e. direct experience and not as a static intellectual pattern of value, the 'Eastern' angle of the MOQ is totally lost on you and basically you are saying that Mr. Pirsig is a fool about his own MOQ.

Needles to say I disagree with you...but...so what? People respond to Quality in different ways. Your response is obviously different to Mr.Pirsig's. Well then...write your own book and stop confusing the one with the other!
