Mark said more than once:
I feel my view ties things together neatly, elegantly and with great
economy
of explanation.
dmb's refusal to engage with the ideas expressed in my initial post on this
Topic, and then to avoid these issues further by misleading the Focus group
is totally unacceptable in my view. I look forward to hearing from you dmb.
Thank you.
dmb replies:
I guess we'll just have to disagree because I find your explanations to be
almost entirely incoherent and honestly have no idea what you're trying to
say. I don't even know what you mean by "coherence". So its not that I WILL
NOT engage, it is that I CANNOT engage. I don't see how, for example, DQ and
the event stream has anything to do with the static levels. The only way
such an approach could possbily make any sense would be in an assertion of
what the static levels ARE NOT.
And the one of the main reasons that I believe you were not really even
responding to my points is that you criticized one of Pirsig's metapors for
being unPirsigian. You attacked the idea as if it were mine, even though the
Pirsig quote that contained the metaphor was included in the post to which
you were supposedly responding. This shows careless reading at best. In
fact, you've siezed upon my least important point a little joke about Kate
Beckinsale and left the main ideas untouched. And it hardly seems fair that
I should have to read your unrelated essay while you apparently won't even
take the time to properly read what I post on the elected topic.
If there is some reason you wish me to understand your ideas about
"coherence", then you'll have to give me something more than a homework
assignment.
Honestly. I really don't know what you're talking about. I mean, I don't
even know what the topic is. That's the level of incoherence I find in your
posts. Is there even a Lila quote that uses the word as you mean it?
Good luck,
dmb
