@PhilosophyExp And very quick to assign motive. Were you even peripherally referring peripherally to the recent SciAm/#DNLee controversy?

@PhilosophyExp "beware those in whom the urge to punish is strong" - words to live by! -
@BrianMcleish@PhilosophyExp Any idea who that qoute is from? And I mean an actual source… ;) -
@PeterMonnerjahn@PhilosophyExp it was Nietzsche, from Zarathustra I think -
@BrianMcleish@PhilosophyExp Well, while thinking isn’t exactly a source ;) , it is apparently ch.29 of Zarathustra: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche … -
@PeterMonnerjahn@PhilosophyExp my copy is in a box upstairs somewhere - didnt have a chance to go check :-) -
@BrianMcleish@PhilosophyExp Lucky me that I had the box where I keep the Interwebs sitting right on my desk. ;) -
@PeterMonnerjahn@PhilosophyExp I am on my phone - I'm never as sharp with the web research without a full size screen!
