Seems to me someone was recently warned in the same fashion when it was felt that MoQ was being used to support a christian interpretation.

Exactly. Steve: If those supporting Horse's action don't think Bo ought to be banned then I am as confused as Matt is about what administrative action we are talking about here. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah...I agree that Bo is all these flavors of horrible (and probably also a pretty good guy), but what specific administrative action are we talking about? Is it... 1) a new forum rule where anyone claiming that SOL is Pirsig's idea risks being banned? 2) a administrative request that Bo shut the hell up about SOL for a while? 3) a specific threat leveled at Bo that he will be banned if he in particular continues to say that SOL was Pirsig's idea? 4) something else, like Bo will be banned if he continues to try to woo every newbie that comes along by flattering them and telling them about how they have blessedly managed to stumble upon the Great Insight? None of us think that Bo's SOL thesis is worth a darn and wish he would stop harping on it, but what action are you defending here? I thought it was 1) at first, but maybe it is 2) since you don't think Bo ought to be banned. I thought Horse had done 1) in which case forum rules are now: #1 You must have read Pirsig's 2 books #2 You may not say that SOL was Pirsig's idea (Are there other rules to add to this list?) But perhaps Horse only intended 2). I normally delete any posts addressed to or from Bo, so I'm not at all clear about what has transpired. Is there a new forum rule or not?
