Sorry, that was a bit of a dense quip on my part. Let me deconstruct it.

I got the impression SithMasterSean was deriving his idea of Nietzsche's writings from other people's interpretations of Nietzsche's writings. Typically those ideas seem to be flat wrong. From what I understand, the Nazis seem to be the most famous misinterpreters Nietzsche, so I thought I'd make a bit of a joke about that, and also try to make a bit of comedic use out of argumentum ad hitlerum while I was at it.

Really, I was just joking around.

What really seems to pay off on LW is clarity, clarity, clarity. I kick myself every time something like this happens. Sorry.
