Marsha said (repeatedly):
I'm not buying into the idea that the MoQ should be a form of American 
Pragmatism...

Andre hopes she might be convinced by Pirsig:
"The MOQ is a continuation of the mainstream of twentieth-century American 
philosophy. It is a form of pragmatism, of instrumentalism, which says that the 
test of the true is the good. It adds that this good is not a social code or 
some intellectualized Hegelian Absolute. It is direct everyday experience." 
(LILA, p 373)

I fail to see the use of trying to push this on and on and on. I really believe 
most contributors are clear on this, excepting Mary and you. What's your game? 
Trying to score points or do you just like the attention? It is reaching the 
yawning stage.

Exactly. It's a game. And I don't mean that in the good way. Whatever the 
game's object is, it certainly has nothing to do with the MOQ. It has nothing 
to do with a reasonable assessment of the textual evidence. It has nothing to 
do with philosophical discussion or inquiry. If there is any legitimate point 
to this game, it surely alludes me.
