You are the only one who holds himself out as the sole arbiter of what the MOQ means. >[Platt] > Yes, how ridiculous. I guess your theory is that everyone just > starting talking all at once. How "logical" is that? > > [Arlo] > In the moment, all it took was two. Two "negotiating" while talking at the same time? Yeah, right. > [Platt] > I wonder. Can up put that in plain English? Or, are you trying to > impress somebody? > > [Arlo] > Sorry, was under the impression everyone here knows polysyllabic > words. I'll just grunt for you from now on. Ah, the arrogance of an academic. Everyone knows the type having had to tolerate it in school. > [Platt] > The someone who was first pointed to a pig and said, "Ugu." The other > fellow pointed to the pig and said, "Ugu."

Had it not been for this simultaneous > mutual recognition, there would have been no pointing and no "uguing". No. The first one's attention was on the pig, he pointed to the pig and said "Ugu. Then the second one's attention turned to the pig and repeated the phrase. Do you know what "simultaneous" means? Oh, I forgot. Plain English is not your forte. > [Arlo previously] > No, you can stick with your I-B-I MOQ all you want, I'll take Pirsig's > I-B-S-I. > > [Platt] > Having given up on plain English, Arlo resorts to indecipherable > code. Oh, well. > > [Arlo] > Indecipherable code? Well, let me decipher this tough nugget for you, > Platt. I-B-S-I stands for "Inorganic-Biological-Social-Intellectual". > You know, Pirsig's MOQ. Contrasted with the I-B-I MOQ of Platt. Need > help with that? Inorganic-Biological-Intellectual. You forgot that I strongly support the police and military in keeping biological forces under control. So as usual you're setting up a ridiculous straw man. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
