After sifting through the ramblings for that ultimate solution:

But that's the story you promised Malcolm - the ultimate Nietzschian 
solution, different from the Nazi one, of which Malcolm warned. And he gets 
only three trailing dashes in response? I for one would like to know the 
fate of those displaced by your (Nietzsche's?) edicts. After all, we already 
have an historical record of the fate of peoples displaced by the edicts of 
certain other admirers of Nietzsche.
