It's NOT called that by Heidegger!

... as is the fact that YOU, Judbaby, REPUBLISH the neo-nazis' subtitle for
this out-of-context fragment: such a piece of re-publishing (if it remains
unchanged) is an example of disgraceful tabloidism and shamefully dishonest
scholarship [caps for emphasis]. Now you KNOW that the subtitling (etc) is
commentary by neo-nazis, perhaps you could give it the proper reference
(e.g., NO subtitle, Heidegger did not write that or any other subtitle... or
at least give the subtitling its neo-nazi provenance); it even begins
mid-sentence!); otherwise, you are complicit in the neo-nazis' scumbag
scheme of things (of which you curiously know so much...); why you would
take the scumbags' view on things is beyond me. And in any case, what did
you mean to SAY in/with this well-known quotation from _Introduction to
Metaphysics_?

You might do well to really study this important book by Heidegger since it
presents the argument that being might mean absolutely nothing (which you
present in a simplistic and totalitarian way as if this were the only thing
one could say; Heidegger presents the case for being being nothing in both a
historical and philosophical context of increasing tension with philosophy's
love affair with being and non-being, which still, though faintly and flatly
reverberates even in your nominalistique iterations of existence and
non-existence). If you wish to ask any questions given your close reading of
this entire book, do not hesitate to ask me (or others on the list) since I
am quite familiar with this text; I doubt whether your neo-nazi 'associates'
have themselves bothered to read the 99% of the rest of his text either...
