    As I already explained, I think Matt has been stretching the definitions of key terms to the point where they no longer recognizable. (Like DQ and unmediated experience, both of which were already specifically addressed.) The result is that we have just one term to refer to two completely different concepts.

    Matt:
    This is a misunderstanding. Thought you should know.

    DMB said:
    I mean, if one were to actually address my concerns here, one might try to explain how and why it is NOT a gross distortion to describe Dynamic Quality as "a compliment".

    Matt:
    Explication of my interpretation is about the only thing I do. You just don't think its acceptable.

    DMB said:
    And there was also the far less complicated case, where Matt wanted us to pretend that he really meant "follow a line of thought" when he used the phrase "align our thoughts". This kind of thing is not only confusing, its dishonest.

    Matt:
    Its clear that DMB no longer trusts me. He thinks I'm out to deceive people. I don't know why he thinks so, I'm not sure why anybody would even want to deceive others. What's the point? Its just a philosophy discussion group.

    But never fear. I still trust DMB. I'm pretty sure that he means and believes every arrogant and ignorant thing he says. If he didn't, wouldn't that simply be Limbaugh-like defamation?

    To put the trust back in our relationship, I think its suffice to say that from either of our perspectives, the other is ignorant.

    And I don't know how to close the gap. And I'm tired of trying.
