bringing Hitler into the discussion was a (perhaps rude or disrespectful) attempt at tongue in cheek humor, for which Id be willing to apologize. But- if I was trying to be seriously critical or hostile or start an argument - I would have said Thiel or Trump instead. I wouldn't have made the least justifiable argument of all time.

so while I appreciate and generally agree with your response, i still can't believe the hostility of my post garnered the downvotes- considering my completely tame and submissive second response was downvoted even further :)

(Ps - I absolutely never compared any person to Hitler- as a joke or otherwise. interpreting it that way seems lazy. if anything, I said the product is worse than Hitler. which is slightly more defensible and slightly less hostile.)
