Well, here it shows how Ham continually brings up
issues about the moq and argues against such issues
about the moq that is NOT the moq. Ham contorts the
moq into something it is not, and no matter how times
people try to help Ham understand that what HE, Ham,
thinks the moq is saying is not what the moq is
stating, Ham will continue to project his beliefs
about the moq in the face of such seemingly
well-understood practitioners of the moq. Ham, you
don't understand the moq. Do you understand that?
So, for you to say what the moq is, well, that's
what's been unfortunate all this time. So, until you
understand the moq don't pretend that you can say what
the moq is. But then I guess your out to show or
argue against the moq to prop your thesis, and as long
as you do that, well, that shows how much value you
have for your thesis. Nothing wrong with that.
People can continue to try to help Ham understand
the moq, but in a few days, weeks, and months, he'll
bring up the same issues, again. I really don't get
it, other than Ham likes his thesis and is trying to
show how much better it is than the moq. Nothing
wrong with that effort.
I'm probably saying 'stuff' about Ham's thesis,
that Ham counts off as so wrong and false and I'm
distorting his thesis, but the same goes for Ham when
it comes to him trying to say what the moq is.
