Ethical Egoism

I think that I may have been confused by the Wiki on Egoism and my reading of Max Stirner. I've just skimmed through a bit of The Ego and Its Own and I don't really think that what I thought that he thought was there. The Wikipedia on Stirner states that he is a psychological, rational, and, Ethical Egoist. I sort of agree with and don't really take issue with psychological or rational Egoism. I was moreso talking about Ethical Egoism. I think that Ethical Egoism is sort of solipsistic in that it denies that others exist. Was Stirner an Ethical Egoist?

EDIT: This is kind of strange aside, but, in a fit of madness, I had at one point been convinced that Max Stirner was a spy for Ludwig I of Bavaria. My relationship to Egoism is rather strange because of that.

EDIT II: I have, since, recovered and no longer harbor such delusions.
