Oh John please, cut the self-rightiousness, because I have every right to 
disply the frustration that I am displaying - over and over again you have 
NOT replied to the specific words of Heidegger's texts I have posted 
(especially the one in which Heidegger explicitly says that anxiety does not 
have as its object anything present-at-hand, nor anything ready-to-hand, nor 
even any specific factical possibility for these, but pure potentiality for 
being as such)! This has been going on for a MONTH John, and you have 
refused to address those specific and explicit WORDS! And then you just go 
from word to word (from anxiety now to understanding, from mitsein to 
being-alongside, to state-of-mind, now saying that MOOD cannot be about a 
thing in the world!) interpreting them in precisely the same controversial 
way without even first resolving the first one - anxiety! And then to top it 
all off, you just keep basing your whole Deep Ecology and anti-war stances 
on this without even resolving the meaning of anxiety in the first place! So 
please don't pretend to be the victim of verbal abuse here, because your 
repeated refusal to specifically address the actual text that I posted. Your 
procedure here would get an failure from any professor here who insists on 
interpreting Heidegger's actual TEXT, instead of repeated soliloquies.
