No Chris, you're trying to play Nietzsche off against what you consider post-
modernism or post-structuralism.  you could certainly talk about Nietzsche
without reference to Baudrillard, Lyotard, Derrida, etc.  And asking for 
someone to effectuate a critique is not asking them to play by socratic rules.
Why do you think Deleuze talks about Nietzsche completing Kantian critique.

In any event, you haven't said much of anything of Nietzsche's thoughts on
the value of morality, pity, etc.  You have rather tried to tie Tarantino to
Nietzsche and Sade, while taking swipes at the thinkers you don't like.

Now, I'm not saying you have to provide a critique, or you in any way have to
change the way you operate.  As Jules would say, you can do whatever the fuck
you like.  By the same token, we can ask you to give us something else,
and I'd like to think that's not illegal either.  Please, when we ask you
to give us something else, don't think we're trying to restrict or control you
or hold you to pristine academic standards of 'socratic critique', etc.

Later,

Nathan
