As Bo has refused to stop hounding my personal email, I thought I'd make this
response public. ...And then I went to Google groups and read the the posts to
LilaSquad. ...What a bunch of incoherent, unintelligible, and outright moronic
nonsense. The majority of contributors appear to be schizophrenics who've gone
off their lithium. I am not exaggerating here... Horse and DMB (anyone else
with a functioning frontal lobe), if you haven't you simply must check this

Yes, I'm aware and it really is as bad as you say. You're not exaggerating. I
still have at least two cyber-stalkers from that particular nuthouse, including
Bo, even though I've repeatedly asked them to leave me alone.
Every celebrity gets their fair share of psychotic fans, I suppose, but Pirsig
gets way more than his fair share. I guess that's because Phaedrus is
brilliant, heroic, and insane (sort of). It seems to celebrate the
misunderstood genius, which makes for a much better self-image than the
medically diagnosed guy with average intelligence. I mean, it's easy to
understand and to sympathize with them as afflicted souls - but that certainly
doesn't mean their philosophy is worthy of the name.
I go swimming in larger ponds and sadly, this kind of mental illness is fairly
common. I see it almost every day and I have to remove someone from a
philosophy forum several times each week because of it. Many of them are
"religious" in bizarre or fanatical ways. It's pretty depressing, just as you'd
imagine.
