Hi Dan, I am sorry you feel that way. My insults as you call them have only been in response to your dogmatic statements and dismissiveness. The last few posts were not insulting and I am worried that you took them that way. I do not believe such an interpretation results from rational thought. So, again, it is not my purpose to insult you, only to discuss MOQ.
I am here for the same reason as you. To discuss the Metaphysics of Quality. Such discussion requires interpretation. Such interpretation may arise in differences. As an anti-theist you know that the gospels of Christianity often contradict each other as to the message. Did that stop the growth of Christianity? Even back then there were a variety of interpretations as revealed recently through the scholarly analysis of so called Gnostic Gospels. I am sure you have read them to take your anti-theist stance since you are thorough. Do you see them as being negative towards Christianity in them? You can call me names and question my knowledge, but, you need to back that up with rational thought. Simply saying that your interpretation of MOQ is the right one does not lend to this forum. Since we are here to discuss RMP's work, can't we question the proposal of concept-free? Are there only some things that we can discuss, is there a line we need to tow? This is forum is discursive, not choir practice. My question is similar. What are you doing here? Obviously you do not want to discuss Pirsig in some very critical areas. I do not understand your problem with my question. Please explain yourself so we can see where you are coming from. I do not understand your use of silly. Everybody has his/her opinion. Such are the pains of growth. I have not problem with your not wanting to discuss these things with us. Just stay away from the irrational dismissal. Your response to me that elicited this response provides no information what so ever. As Adrie would say, Information is Key. I believe this needs some arbitration from Horse. I know this is a moderated site, and I am happy to follow the rules. I read the rules when joining, it seems that what I am doing is not breaking them. If I am, then I am not the only one. If Horse asks to refrain, by all means that is his judgement, I will comply. Dan, what is your interpretation of the rules? Thanks Mark Dan previously: Mark, you just don't get it, do you? You're spouting nonsense about something you obviously know little or nothing about, namely the MOQ. I am not asking you to do anything. Robert Pirsig wrote the books. I didn't. Robert Pirsig states that the MOQ is anti-theistic. Robert Pirsig states that Dynamic Quality is to be kept concept-free. We are here to discuss his work, not mine... at least that is what we are supposed to be here doing. If I may be so bold, what are you doing here, Mark? Oh, I know you like to be insulting and talk nonsense, but honestly, what are you doing here if you don't want to discuss the MOQ? Why not go to another chat group and chat nonsense? Your questions are silly. I am done attempting to have a discussion with you... it is going nowhere fast.
