Hey Bo, Matt said: I find you are a bad dialogue partner. You have an ironclad framework of understanding that reduces conversation with others to a statistical score sheet of when people agree and disagree with you. Everybody has a score sheet, but that is _all_ it seems you do, whereas most others are also doing other things. I just don't have anything fruitful to talk to you about because the dialogue never moved forward.
Bo said: This is the weirdest argument I've ever heard, I have found the MOQ to be a great tool and if your "dance" means for me to compromise that, no way. Matt: No, of course that's not what I was saying. It wasn't an argument, Bo. I'm just trying to explain why I don't often reply to your interludes. It has nothing to do with one person being convinced of the other person's opinion. We've all had great conversations with people we disagree greatly with. We've all also had boring conversations with people we totally agree with. I attempted to explore your viewpoint for several months a year or so ago, and while I think it could be one of the more interesting variations on Pirsig, I don't find it very interesting to talk to you. Other people do, and I say more power to them. Not everybody needs to talk to everybody, and we make choices. I apologize. I have arguments for and against your stated philosophical positions (they're somewhere in the archives), I just don't find it interesting to engage you on them. That itself isn't an argument, it is an opinion. Matt _________________________________________________________________ You keep typing, we keep giving.
