I agree wholeheartedly. If the man now sometimes was antisemit, why need
to knead it over and over again? I think to be doomed to be the worlds
spitjar _for ever_ is a rather hard punishment. Wagner came in conflict
with others to times, but as far as I am concerned, it is very seldom a
conflict is _only_ one sides fault....
