> Have I been mean-spirited? - John: I was thinking more of the pounding you have taken, than the pounding you have given. I don't consider you mean-spirited at all. Contrary and stubborn at times? Yes! But that's not the same thing as mean-spirited. I dislike mean spirits, but I oft appreciate the contrarian. Marsha: > It seems better to give posters room > to move.

However I do feel I've offered good argumentative evidence against the 4th level being SOM, and I don't feel like my intelligent explanation has been countered at all. Furthermore, it seems to my recollection that when you originally flip-flopped on your support for Bo, the reason you gave was chiefly that he'd been loyal for so long. Then came the intellectual justification for your emotional reaction. Now I don't criticize that process, in fact, I think it's honestly the only way we do things. We always rationalize what we really want emotionally. Which is why I don't think the 4th level can rightly be termed "intellectual". But you already know all this.

A place to share my experiences with the way the MoQ impacts and forms my life and choices. Keep exploring and expanding Marsha. Personally, I'm exercising more these days and losing weight. :-) John Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
