Lalwendė, I apologize if this became a personal attack on you, it is not. I certainly know the difference between fiction and reality. I have nothing against those who enjoy a well-written villain in the context of a work of fiction -- such antagonists are necessary to good fiction. The kinds of people I am admittedly ranting about in my long-winded post are those who also know the difference between fiction and reality, but who also sympathize with and would (if they could) emulate the practices and methods of the villains. In essence, they are calling evil good, and good evil. I humbly ask
The 1,000th Reader to confirm whether or not I have interpreted the question correctly.
And Lalwende, I note that you did not address the fundamental logical fallacies in your post which I pointed out.

No, but there are those who read
Mein Kampf and think the same thing. They are probably the same ones T1000R is talking about in his original post.
