Your posts have the fervor a preacher and (occasionally) the eloquence of a
poet. But what I've noticed so far is a bark far more powerful than the
bite. You're ideas seem (at least to me) to be little more than a mix of
mangled, misunderstood Robert Pirsig, Christianity and some really sketchy
"psychobabble". I wish I could point out some specifics but I didn't save
your MoM posts and couldn't seem to locate them on the archive. I'll watch
for the MoM rules and go over them again(I'm skeptical, but who knows?).
You're arguing tactics are dazzling. If we like your ideas it's because
their right. If we don't, it's because their right and we're scared (or
"want to be left alone" or something). And why do I bother commenting if
your not "getting up my nose"? That's simple, it's a DISSCUSION group. We
discuss all of the ideas, even the bad ones.

I know you think that you've discorvered some great new system but maybe
your letting your "ego" (not in the strict Fruedian sense) interfere with
your reasoning (after all, you did place the SOCIOLOGICAL over the
INTELLECTUAL and I'm sure you're the type to practice what you preach).
Furthermore, I don't wish to write you off and I doubt anyone else does
either (despite what you may like to believe). I think your turn of phrase
is wonderful and your insights are occasionally fantastic. I'd love to see
them at work expanding the MoQ instead of just using it reinforce your
religious views. I also just want to reinforce the idea that all the
comments I make are (at least intended) to be in the spirit of discussion
and improvement. I hope I have not offended personally... I'll await your
answers for everything. And I promise, no more "ad hominem" posts, I'll
stick strictly to the material from now on.

It's all good,
Rick
