- Mikhail, sweetie-pie, you promised to withdraw from interaction with me
- after I kicked your butt last fall. I am quite aware, of course, that
- "the writings of Socrates" may be infelicitous unless we use Derrida's
- "writing" such that Socrates wrote-through Plato, and I am aware that it
- is lese-majesty to say of a Real Stud like Socrates that he soiled
- himself with writing. But your pedantic little sniggering is even more
- infelicitous.
