[David Buchanan] Well maybe my criticism stings, but
"anti-intellectual Victorian" is no mere label. Its a conclusion. I gave
you specific and pointed reasons for that conclusion. I hope the
conversation continues... I'm asking you why you seem to favor social
level values over intellectual level values in solving the moral
questions YOU posed. I'm suggesting that such an attitude does not
square with the MOQ's moral hierarchy, and that perhaps this is the
source of your mistrust of the "moral compass". Dude, i am ON topic and
I think we're getting at the root of the issue. Don't quit me now!
Please, look at your own responses again. Look for the spirit of
Rigel in it. Or maybe just give me your thoughts on the intellectual
level. C'mon Roger, criticism is part of this whole deal. This ain't no
tea party. Please take my frankness as honesty. Please take it as a
total lack of condescension. Please look at my criticism as an
expression of genuine enthusiasm for the topic. The last thing I want to
do is dismiss you with insults. My intention was to engage you in a
serious discussion. Really.
Directly following my cruel conclusion, I begged you to tell me
that it isn't so. With a little humor thrown in too, I should like to
add. You could offer up some thoughts on the intellectual level in terms
of the moral compass debate and keep this thing going. We're on a roll
here lately. I'd hate to be the one who made the whole topic crash.
Sincerely, DMB
