[MD] An Open Letter to the MOQ Discussion Group

[david buchanan]

Mark said to Dan:
... I do not think you understand what I am writing.  If you have a problem with something, all you need to do is explain it to me and perhaps we can have and understanding.  This constant bashing without explaining the problem with my rhetoric is unbecoming of someone such as yourself.  Could you be more specific on what topics you would like discussed.

dmb says:

The complaints from Dan (and Horse) are quite clearly explained, Mark. You've been caught red handed.

Mark said:
Ant, tell me what the problem with Plato was.  His "Good" is the same thing as Pirsig's Quality.
[AND]

Ant, of course they cannot be the same thing since neither of them are anything at all, remember? ...So, I am not shifting my argument one bit; that you would think so would imply that you think Quality is some thing.  If this is true, then you need to begin at the beginning.

dmb continues:
When these guys call you on it, on this obvious nonsense, you have the nerve to cop a condescending attitude and tell the guys who literally wrote the book on the MOQ that they need to go back to the beginning.

Again, this combination of arrogance and ignorance is totally outrageous. And the denials about what's obvious are just as maddening.

It's like pissing on a picnic. It spoils the party and it's embarrassing.
