And yet you are still unwilling or unable to provide examples of either myself, El Tusko, 'Anon'
or anyone else being abusive towards you Struan. The reason is simple - there is no-one
who currently contributes or is a member that has ever abused you Struan, as you are well
aware. YOU are the only persistent abuser on this forum Struan, anyone else who has been
abusive has either left or is now behaving reasonably. Your attempt to divert attention from
your own abuse of other forum members is transparent as is your attempt to equate
misinterpretation (deliberate or otherwise and of which you are also guilty) with the verbal
abuse and intellectual bullying of which you are so fond and appear to enjoy dishing out
(although not receiving). So you are now guilty of obfuscation, equivocation, cant and
hypocrisy. The list grows in proportion to your desperation to damage Pirsig's work and
disrupt this forum and as you are so obviously unable to control your temper and behave
reasonably for any length of time (i.e. more than a few posts) it won't be long before you are
removed from the forum. This is not something that I will take pleasure in - contrary to your
amusing remarks about my actions at the time - as you have been of service in the past. But
that's in the past and looking to the future is much more relevant but it looks as if it will be a
future without you. I can live with that Struan but your need is greater than mine as you have
something to prove.

And if Rick agrees that this is a reasonable conclusion to your dialogue then I shall certainly
donate said amount at the earliest opportunity, you have my word on this, even though my
post obviously implied that the conversation was in reference to yourself and 'Anon'.
Being a occasional gambler though I would propose this. If you can conduct the conversation
between yourself and 'Anon' regarding Aristotle and Pirsig (the one that 'Anon' started in
response to Jon (Ascmjk) referring to your post of Sep 8th 1999 and entitled "RE: MD The
expansion of rationality", you know the one where you became abusive and I reprimanded
you, and where you accused 'Anon' of lying and all sorts of other things) without resorting to
insult or abuse or swearing etc. and a conclusion is reached that is agreeable to both
yourself and 'Anon' then I shall increase the amount to £50 to the RSPB.
Yours in anticipation and looking forward to holding on to the extra 40 quid
