Ummm, everyone?  Since a metaphysics is a system of philosophical definitions, it's in the very name you bandy about -  "MoQ".  Could just as easily be called "DoQ".  A self-confessedly ironic degeneracy.  All that's needs to ameliorate a bit would be a tinge of humility, compassion and caring and not taking yourself quite so seriously.  Too much to ask?  No, never mind. Already know the answer to that question. 


> Definitions are static and intellectual. The MOQ is static and intellectual. Concepts are static and intellectual. If I can speak for "folks around here", what we want is the proper use of terms and intelligible expressions of ideas.

And the final arbiter of "proper" and "intelligible"?  No, nevermind; don't tell me. I already know the answer to that one too.

I think your charge is totally baseless and wholly without merit.       


John:

Yup. I get that a lot from you.  Don't think I can do much about it neither.
