Ant says; I don't really have the emotional energy - at the moment - to deal with people such as yourself with the typical egotistical ideas
as a dutch guy i want to know now how you use the word egotistical here. wiktionairy says; 1. Tending to talk excessively about oneself. 2. Believing oneself to be better and more important than others. 3. Egoistical <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/egoistical>. I don't recognise myself in neither of these three definitions. i just wanted to express an intellictual variation on RMP's Thoughts. Probably if you don't parrot RMP here exactly according certain persons on this MOQ forum you are to be considered egotistical. That's why in some (irritated) reactions i used the words pullpit, priest and church becacause of what i have experienced here on this forum until now, and i also read 10 to 15%, is in my opinion far from an free open intellectual playing field. I opened a discussion to consider a possible definition of quality in a two dimensional abstract perspective. Until now.........no reactions.........why? ........................??????
