Ian said to dmb: ...I was shocked at your statement suggesting the Pirsig had said everything that needed saying on the social / intellectual levels matter. Obviously my "silly" question back at you was rhetorical - intended to to get you to explain what you DID mean by it. [and previously] ...is that you suggesting Pirsig's words are final and not open to discussion and improvement?
dmb replies: I asked Mati why the committee objected to the answers supplied in Lila. I suppose you're talking about that. How perfect could Pirsig's answers be if the committee rejected them? (That's a rhetorical question, by the way.) Who said anything about final, perfectly complete answers that are beyond improvement? The Pope, maybe. See, you've put a rather bizzare (and insulting) spin on a perfectly legitimate question, namely, "What were the objections to Pirsig's explanations?". Your objections to this are based on nothing. Thanks for another pointless distraction, genius. _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_messenger2_072008 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/
