Hi Antonio Thank you for writing... you are a very kind person. Please allow me to attempt an answer to your question as to what is happening here... This is a discussion list devoted to the works of Robert Pirsig. As long as contributors have a decent grasp of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila, they will no doubt submit posts of high quality to keep the dynamic flowing... and everyone will enjoy intelligent and fulfilling discussions. However! Certain people have infiltrated the group spouting nonsense and disrupting any intelligent discussions brewing. Mark is a prime example but he is not alone. For the longest time it was plain to all that he'd never read a word of Robert Pirsig. Perhaps that has changed... I don't know. But he has yet to grasp the essentials and instead of attempting to learn a bit from folk like dmb, Horse, Andre, and a number of others who've been here a long time, he hurls insults and high-handed remarks at them. If this was just an open discussion group, then yes, I would agree with you that there are rooms for everyone. It is not. These people like Mark and Tuukka and others who do not care a thing about Mr. Pirsig's work are ruining it for those who do. That is (in my opinion) the source of the animosity you are unfortunate witness to. May I offer my apologies and best wishes for your continued participation.
