People with good historical backgrounds, who actually do the related research, will find my edits to be truthful and balanced. What is unbalanced are the edits that use phrases like "virulent anti-Semite". Some of the things I took out were fabricated entirely, such as Erik's claim that Wagner "forced" a colleague to change his religion; that claim is a far cry from the truth that he asked a colleague to convert, colleague refused, and they continued as friends to the end of their lives. What I am doing is not whitewashing, which involves plastering over and hiding someones faults. I am merely picking up and removing the POV trash that some have been throwing around, but which hasn't been sticking as much as they would like. NPOV, in a collegial spirit of mutual respect is my main goal. I don't appreciate attacks like Erik's. If he disagrees with my edits, he is, and always has been, welcome to make his own edits. I can back my edits up with relevant research. I really wish that a particularly vocal few would do the same for their edits. Jonathan -- Geek House Productions, Ltd.

This is what I referred to on [[Talk:Richard Wagner]]: Always trying to weasel out, always returning any criticism, concentrating on one particular "enemy", trying to single him out as being biased (with wrong statements, once again, which I will not bother to refute), trying to portray a particular error as a "controversy" with a "few" other people, trying to portray yourself as the nice fellow who can work with everyone if given enough time. I enjoyed your following statement: "I will always be able to defend my edits". I have no doubt about that. Sorry, Jon, but that strategy, while quite sophisticated, is not going to work forever.
