A view weeks ago i was trying to express my intellectual freedom here on my findings about the relationship between SOM and MOQ on invitation of ant. The cause of my findings had to do with my experience wit Mental illness in the past and my training as a Elektronics Engineer. This MOQ forum is a kind of society with it's rules for it's own purpose. I expected to be able to discuss my findings on this MOQ forum free as in a free intellectual playground. In reality i was, in stead of having an intellectual discussion, almost only being attacked on the fact that i am somebody with a mental illness history and for that reason not to be taken seriously. What does the MOQ moral hierarcy have to say about this situation. Kind regards Eddo 2013/6/2 david buchanan <[email protected]> > > Marsha said to Eddo: > Also, that cultural matrix can dissolve.
