I'm assuming the kook mail I received today comes from the same kook who sent the mangled copy of Between Facts and Norms a few weeks back Today I received a copy of The Cambridge Companion to Habermas that is similarly mangled-- pages torn out, big x's over whole paragraphs, random marginalia ("wrong!," "no way!," and my favorite, "fucking defeated"). I also should note that the photo of Habermas on the cover has been defaced-- first with devil horns, then (in a different pen) a big x over his face.
Where would we be without kooks?

c'mon spiros, don't tell us you have no idea who the sender might be. it must be a disgruntled former grad student of yours (i bet you have more than one but maybe you don't even know!). watch out at the apa he or she might know the secret sign!
This is hilarious!

I didn't know Charlie Sheen read Habermas...
I am newly tenured and now engaged in the task of tenure review. It is more difficult than I expected for various reasons. Oh Sage Assholes of Philosophers Anonymous, what is it like to give a colleague the boot?
What, you don't like Christmas gifts? Asshole.
Can we get a scanned image of satanic Jürgen?
LOL Fucking defeated.
I bet it was someone who flamed out as an undergrad. If there are references to a particular Philosophy of Mind professor being full of shit or a wager of $20 to get to the point, I think we all know who is sending the books.
Isn't it that, that, that... ?
