Reply to comment by rentonlives in Nietzsche: The Overhyped Philosopher of the Masses by GuitarsRgreat
Thanks for your insightful and respectful comment on my article. I'm sorry that my shallow, superficial perspective on Nietzsche didn't meet your expectations as a philosophy expert. How silly of me to think that my own thoughts and experiences as a casual reader of Nietzsche's work could be worth sharing. I'll be sure to consult with contemporary scholars and provide in-depth textual analysis in my next piece to better appease the gods of philosophical discourse.
Oh, and by the way, in case you were wondering, your original comment was: "Basically a blog about not liking young people listening to your favorite band." It was removed under the rule of "Be Respectful" because it consisted of personal attacks and did not contribute to the discussion. But please, continue to share your wisdom and condescension with the rest of us lesser mortals. We can always use a good dose of elitism to remind us of our intellectual inferiority.

They like my band. I found them first. How could they not possible understand everything I know which is much deeper.
I also like how you bring up the potential dangers of missing the point of his work but never actually address them or illustrate actually one single danger of oversimplifying his work.
Nice blog.
