[MD] Anti-intellectualism revisited

Andre,

Jc:  oh piffle, Andre.  How is this contributing to either clarifying my
so-called confusion, or advancing Pirsig's MoQ?
Perhaps keeping quiet is the best course for you.

Jc:  So I take it that you believe Pirsig never made a single mistake?
I've refuted both Bo and Marsha's ideas - Bo for limiting the scope of the
4th level to SOM, and Marsha for her destructive interpretation of
Buddhism.  So lumping me in with them is foolish.  Bo just posted today,
that he prefers dmb's thinking to mine.  So your assertion of "follow" is
ridiculous.

Jc;  You know what seems preschool to me, Andre?  All this name calling and
insult.  It also seems rather school boy to reflect the exact ideas of the
teacher, without thought or understanding.  this has been you and dmb's
style for as long as I've observed.  Show me some of your supposedly
superior logic skills, don't just talk about them.  Then maybe your words
will abash me.  As it is, I just hear childish tauntings.

Likewise, I'm sure.
