[Arlo to Platt] Yep. I knew you couldn't. You talk the trash of talk-radio, but like its "hosts" you lack any ability to provide substance. And when called to do so, you do nothing but evade, evade, evade.
All you got is "Arlo is an elitist", "Arlo is arrogant", "Arlo is a meanie"... but you offer nothing else. That golden EIB microphone is almost yours... [Arlo had asked] Kindly point out my "ad hominem" attacks. In the meantime (since I know you [Arlo points, which were successfully evaded] Why respond with (yet another) baseless attack on me rather than responding to simple points. Who is the "average reader" here you feel is incapable of "easily understanding" academic discourse? It's evident from Pirsig's involvement with Ant and other academics, that he endorses and supports them. Your attempt to cast these people as "philosophologists" is disingenuous to say the least. It is also evident that Pirsig has been interested in seeing the MOQ brought into "academic philosophy" departments; also evident from his involvement with Ant and DMB. So your attempt to demonize the Academy with anti-intellectual talk-radio jargon is inane. When YOU don't "easily understand" a book, its rather revealing that your only recourse is to accuse the author of elitism and arrogance, cause god knows it can't be YOU. I would think a better approach would be to learn, broaden oneself, study and work to understand what others are saying. But that makes me an elitist, doesn't it?
