Marsha to Andre:

I dislike making unnecessary judgements.  Keeping possibilities
spontaneous and flexible is more my preference.  So again I ask
you what kind of commitment are calling me a coward for not
making???

Andre:
Since you are insisting Marsha, when I referred you to this site as the discuss of the MOQ, I expect contributors to share their ideas about interpretations/points of view/insights etc. with regards to Mr. Pirsig's MOQ It appeared to me that you, when 'confronted' by Arlo (for example)with some definite MOQ statements, you 'withdraw' in your 'undifferentiated ever changing' stuff...taking nothing seriously.
Already you are doing this, again for example in your statement to Mary regarding 'the fourth level is SOM all the way' at the same time you say that you 'hold the level structure lightly'.I don't know what this means. This can mean anything.

I am simply asking you to either commit yourself to 'SOM all the way' and argue for it on this discuss, or commit yourself to the 'lightly' structure of this level and argue for this..to clarify what you mean by this. Both stances to be taken provisionally.

Thing is, you do make judgements, you do make valuations all the time (eg SOM all the way).How and when do you find out whether they are/have been 'unnecessary'? Our ground stuff here is the static discussion of the MOQ and if and when everyone here is only responding according to spontaneous and flexible possibilities no proper discussion is possible.

After all the MOQ is a static intellectual pattern of quality.

Not sure if this makes sense.
