Perhaps while Barnaby finds the time to gather some addtional references for 
Richard, the following will suffice to indicate that Richard's caricature of 
Nietzsche is in need of revision.

from -- what else? -- Wikipedia. Note the last sentence:

"Nietzsche argued that two types of morality existed: a master morality that 
springs actively from the 'noble man', and a slave morality that develops 
reactively within the weak man. These two moralities do not present simple 
inversions of one another; they form two different value systems: master 
morality fits actions into a scale of 'good' or 'bad' whereas slave morality 
fits actions into a scale of 'good' or 'evil'. Notably he disdained both, 
though the first clearly less than the second."

This is one time Wikipedia got it right.
