[MD] The first cut.

[Andre]

Mark to Andre:
Give it a break! We are all here to learn.

Andre:
I agree.

Mark:
I suppose that you know everything, right?

Andre:
No.

Mark:
By the way, doesn't Pirsig use the term DQ?  How can he do that and not refer to it.

Andre:
Pirsig knows what he's talking about.

Mark:
You seem to be a little confused with what undefined means in MoQ terms.

Andre:
Okay, enlighten me Mark.

Mark:
Why don't you think a little before reacting like a bull dog?

Andre:
You are referring to my response to Marsha's response to my post? Marsha has been misrepresenting Pirsig's ideas for a number of years now. Over the years dmb, myself and others have pointed these out to her and her dismissal of these objections have constantly been based on empty (!) grounds. To argue that there is no difference between DQ and sq, as the first slice of the MOQ is silly and makes a mockery of all that follows.

For a bit more detail I refer you to my post to David.

And, oh, I do think before I react. It may not always be the most socially acceptable way or perhaps the most tactful way but there you have it. If the contents of my reactions to Marsha fail to represent the MOQ in any adequate way I am more than interested to hear them from you or anyone else.
