Hi Horse, Thanks for the reality check, you are right. Perhaps I get frustrated easily, but as you say, it is not appropriate in this forum. I have tried in many ways to explain my view of MoQ, but am always met with blank stares. I attribute that to my rhetoric, and certainly frustration does not help. It won't stop me from trying however, so thanks for trying to reason with me.
I did try to bring up the consensus of the word "evolution", but was met with hostile responses. Since this is an internet community it is somewhat responsible to review words that are used specially in context. Otherwise, how will the MoQ grow? We seem to be having the same problem with the definition of "static" and "dynamic". Perhaps this will clear up at some point, and we can move on. Maybe an MoQ dictionary is appropriate... Certainly words should not be used as their antonyms, I did not know that was going on. As best as I am able, I use the most common use of words. Of course I can see why Quality is defined in many ways, since that is the nature of this forum. To discuss Quality in a metaphysical setting, as such, it is the main thing that is being interpreted by those who choose to visit this site.
