Hi, Jay.

Even as parody this wasn't very effective. No-one in this discussion has
said anything like that. The point is that it is not Wikipedia's job to
demonize Nazis. We should provide the facts on National Socialism - its
tenets, practice and history - in a neutral encyclopedic way. Using this
information our readers can decide for themselves whether it's demonic or
not.
