Your quote is a small part of my edits; I don't always get things right
in the first edit.  Were I to do it again, I would have written:

"Although labelled an anti-Semite today, Wagner never supported..."

If you took the time and effort to read the original source material
that the accusations are based on, you would see why you have no basis
for complaining about my recent edits to the Wagner article.

Erik, I encourage you to research your facts before criticizing me
publicly.  If you have questions about my edits, perhaps a more amiable
forum for discussing them would be on the appropriate Talk page.  I am
always open to honest criticism.

Jonathan
