Re: Heidegger in the Owl of Minerva

Jeff:
Are you inciting harrassment of Professor Larry Stepelevich? His comments
are always extremely intelligent and amusing. So he overlooked the Heidegger
list serve? Big deal - major oversight, Mon Dieu! He retracted his
oversight more than a week ago! Otherwise I happen to believe he is right
about Heidegger's attitude. Prof. Stepelevich's point is that Heidegger was
very ambivalent about technological progress. Who knows what Heidegger would
have thought as far as this little coterie of ours. But that is not the
point, mon petite monsieur! The point is you lack internet manners.
Listen: if anybody needs to have his derriere torched its you! I would hope
you would have enough sense left to apologize for your petty instigation.
It is you who must do all the retracting. Because chap you are in very very
poor form!
