[MD] The MoQ and Politics? part 1 of 3

[John Carl]

Hi Marsha,

I noticed your three-part postings and it irritated me a bit.  Not at you,
but at that which forces you to jump through such hoops.  It seems like
harassment to me.  What is the point?  Is MD so clogged with noise that
makes such measures necessary?

I don't know what you mean ay flexible line; I don't see any such thing.

I guess what I mean by "flexible line" is this very aspect, when you hold
two truths simultaneously, higher and lower, you must decide moment to
moment which way you are going to look at any given aspect of reality - with
your higher perspective or your lower.
