I understand your point and I agree, but Have you seen
Kaufmann's text? If you have, your comments are
contradictory, aren't they? So what am I to think? Either
you have judged the text without having seen it or you are
contradicting yourself.
but i seriously doubt that you're really

I will discuss any of these texts, or any of the original
gnostic texts, but you have to demonstrate some interest in
discussing them by posting something that is proof that you
have read them and that you are ready to engage in a serious
discussion of any or all of these. Maybe if you pick your
favorite Nietzsche book and discuss it with me you will
change your opinion, hell, how about Heidegger's essay, "The
Word of Nietzsche:'God Is Dead'"? It's brief, so we won't
need nearly as much time as we are wasting with these posts
here. Pick a Riilke poem or a passage. So on, but I won't
reply unless your comments reference a text. My opinion is,
that any other discussion here, is all bullfighting
amusement.

Anymore? You don't like Eddins, but your gimpy little posts
on his use of Vogelin are proof to me you've not read his
book. You complain about Kaufmann's WTP and suggest an
alternative text, the alternative that is, of course, the
text Kaufmann, no intellectual slug, has used, you don't
like my reading of Nietzsche but you don't say why. You say,
nope flaherty you have it all wrong again, read so and so
and here is quote from TSZ to suck on and and you are a slug
and suck my dick and so on...but you have never, never
discussed texts. I'll say it again, pick a book Kai, a book.
How about anything in the Gnostic scriptures? How about V.?
You know, listers complain about the stupid shit and that's
why the list is getting all fouled up. Concentrate on the
books, the texts. Few on this list are willing to do so.
That's the problem. That's why I'm writing this, but now I
have a final to write and want to read a few pages to reply
to jbor, he reads the books, Kai.
flaherty will get you everywhere, I never leave home without
it.
