Platt and y'all:

DMB said:
The point is all about looking at socialism as Pirsig defines it, as a
"program for the intellectual control of society".

Platt corrected me with:
If you are going to quote Pirsig, you might try doing it accurately.
"Communism and socialism, programs for intellectual control over society . .
."

DMB says:
Clearly, you're trying WAY too hard to find fault. There is no meaningful
difference between these two statements. Its dishonest to pretend I didn't
accurately express the idea. This "correction" of yours is petty, childish,
mean-spirited and it only serves you as a way to avoid the issue. Its
cowardly. Shame on you! Go to your room!
