You know i don't post often on this list - i can't respond very well to the more serious exchanges due to lack of knowledge of history of philosophy, lack of brains and pure laziness (self-deprecation doubling as honesty). Some people come here to play or laugh - that has it's uses in learning; i don't believe people here are dishonest though; like you, they say what is in their mind however misguided that may be sometimes. I don't think 'griefers' stay long in moq_discuss. People come here to learn however obstinate they may appear.
