> I missed this in Ron's post, and I'd be surprised that he is arguing for belief as prior (or over) direct experience. That Quality is primary, or direct experience is first, is critical to Pirsig's metaphysics, and also matches pragmatism and Buddhism, I think of as terra firma; where we all begin.

Dan:
Of course I may have misread what he was saying. I don't see that he
bothered with refuting anything; he only stated that I am full of
hate, which I found rather odd especially since I received off-list a
rather disconcerting email from a 'Tim Rappl' who from the tone of the
letter I take to be one of 'Ron's' alter egos. I don't know if he
realizes threatening emails can easily be traced back to their source.
In these times the authorities take such threats very seriously.

I mention this so you and the others here know what we may be dealing
with. Or not. Like I said, in these times you just never know. He may
be a harmless prankster letting off steam. Or he may be a powder keg
with a short fuse attached.

Ron:
Whoa there! not me! track the bastard.I would 'nt let that go.
 
I dont know who's sending threatening e-mails, I hope using the popular inner-city slang "hater"
a rhetorical term used on people who disagree with them, for example sunglasses are called
"hater blockers"  didnt offend anyone. My kids tell me I've drank hater-aid when it seems
i'm disagreeing just to disagree. By the time such slang reaches my common usage it's usually
pretty old and very uncool to use, forshizzle (snoop dog reference) it was meant to garner a chuckle.
 "Dawg".
 
Now Dan, I'm not calling you a "dog" it's used like "brother" was used in the 70's a slang term.
 
 
chillax...(.chill and relax). Chill (to cool down)
 
 I forget you pretty much have dropped out of the popular culture.
