Dear Mr. Steve Callihan-

Please be our guest to do so and yield to your very lowest of the low,
you will not be the first rabid dog who has tried it.  Oh well.  But
here is the IRREPARABLE damage you have done _on_ this list and _to_
yourself which is: 

YOU HAVE EXPOSED YOURSELF!  

NO ONE THAT _KNOWS_ YOU _NOW_ -- WILL EVER TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.  

YOUR ACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN YOUR WORDS. 

Our friendship (WHICH WE SHALL NEVER DENY whatever you care to do)
started with the support we gave you for opposing Mr. Rhodes's
interpretation that Nietzsche would have been (or was) a fascist, a year
and half ago; and finishes irretrievably with you demonstrating just
what kind of a SMALL-MINDED GENDARME you are.  For those on this list
who go through life with their eyes and ears peeled, you have provided a
blanket assurance that whatever you care to say about Friedrich
Nietzsche from now one is a much greater falsification than anybody on
this list has yet provided.  Because you are a FAKE ANTI-FASCIST.

It is true, we never expected this from you.  Lambda C was prepared for
your hordes of Heideggerians and criptoHeideggerians to arrive with
their torches and pitchforks, but with this ingenious stroke of policial
insight, you have now summoned them to new heights!  An anonymous
cyberlynch mob armed with fax numbers and server IDs.  A new power to
'act' - a _modern_ 'becoming', 'becoming' informers.  No one would have
dreamt, in the wildest flights of insight, of such a breakthrough in
awareness.  But it was inevitable-

-the strategy of announcing deletions of our questions was good, but all
it did was prevent you from defending your points of view; hum, not so
good after all.  Specially when you still had to read _those_ posts -
and lie shamelessly to everybody about it.

-then there was the call to shunning.  Also good.  An old priestly
tactic.  But still not sufficiently refined (not yet modern).

- finally, the democratic cyber policing: brilliant.  Your most
inventive to date.  Let us watch how the virtual black list of those you
dislike will keep on growing.  Can we expect further witch-hunts?  Who
will be the next target?  And after that?

- have you given any consideration to implement a bounty-hunting
strategy - with some cash incentives?

We can only look forward to hearing from our server as to the list of
those who will follow your most creative advice.  

In our favour we have nothing to say.  What we have done speaks for
itself.  And don't count on us laxing for a moment.  We take our wars
seriously, more than you imagine.  People like you, plaguey people,
shall pass away - their life is fleeting, so says Nietzsche.

Lambda Crucified

PS - 
"The affirmation of passing away _and destroying_, which is the decisive
feature of a Dionysian philosophy; saying Yes to opposition and war;
_becoming_, along with a radical repudiation of the very concept of
_being_-  " (EH, Birth of Tragedy, p. 273)
