[MD] Pirsig's revenge

Seething? Not me Bo. A bit sad maybe that after all this time you've 
failed to make the case for your SOL and continue to make the same basic 
errors that have been pointed out to you over and over again.

But to re-iterate, just in case you've forgotten:

So why is it that you've done nothing to provide Craig with the 
ammunition to stop Strawson in his tracks?
According to you, the SOL will make his criticism irrelevant - to me it 
is and always has been irrelevant, regardless of your input - and yet 
you have failed to rise to the challenge. Just more hot air, bluster and 
insults which are the trademarks of your position.
So why don't you demonstrate to all of us poor befuddled and mistaken 
lesser mortals who support Pirsig's and not your, interpretation of the 
MoQ, how to "...render his [Strawsons] criticism irrelevant..." so that 
Craig can pose a counter-position to Strawsons own based on your SOL 
meanderings?
Are you up to it or are you, as I previously stated, all mouth and no 
substance?

For your clarification, my position regarding the MoQ is pretty much 
identical to Pirsig's  with a few disagreements here and there but 
substantially the same. And that includes opposition to your, mistaken, 
interpretation of his work. How you've failed to understand this is 
anybody's guess!

PS
Re: Struan - I saw him as a threat to moq_discuss, not the MoQ. I liked 
the guy and thought it was a shame when things got nasty and, as you 
say, he was honest about his position. You, on the other hand, denigrate 
Pirsig and anyone else who disagrees with you with insults and shallow 
put-downs, whilst still failing spectacularly to make your case to just 
about everyone else on this forum.
