[MD] Why are things called patterns?

[Andre]

Marsha to Horse:

I do not easily submit.  In this forum I've been called an idiot, an asshole, Lucy, accused of continuous drinking, been called immoral, associated with a snot-bucket,&etc.  What is called browbeating seems, also, to be a subjective term.

Andre:
Yeah, and I have deliberately not mentioned you in my responses to Mark, which was soooooo tempting but I have given up on you i.e. not expecting an intelligent, fitting in with Pirsig's MOQ, response. The only thing we got from you were more questions, youtube and quotes from Buddhist philosophy through Western interpretations.

For what it's worth, and very subjectively speaking.
