Hi Dave, DMB said: So, basically, you just resent the idea that I could "teach" you anything. You feel humiliated by the suggestion that somebody might understand something you don't. Okay, but I think that's a personal problem, a matter of self-esteem, and it has very little to do with philosophy or anyone's rhetorical style.
Matt: Heh, yeah, that's it. I do want to say that I think there's a difference between the rhetorical presentation of a kindergarten teacher and a university professor, and between them and my peers and my friends, who I am constantly learning from. In fact, I'd like to think I learn, and am open to learning, from people that don't even think of themselves as teachers or even as knowing or understanding something. I'd like to think that, particularly in this latest of our series of exchanges, that I tried avoid discussion of what I still consider to be your bad writing and style of communication, and focused on just the content, as you always asked. But I couldn't understand what you were doing, what you were taking issue with in my content, nor what the purpose of your content was. Not till the end did it become apparent that we were just not meant to be conversation partners. Thanks again for trying, Matt 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
