"As you said, Murray, this [Hitler hypo] is a purely hypothetical case. "Wildly hypothetical." And when we start positing such hypothetical situations, the discussion can go to ridiculous extremes and become pointless." Don Firth.

Don, Don, Don. Thou duckest the question. You are on record as saying that the politics and character of the writer is totally irrelevant to whether you will enjoy, play and share a piece of music(or do I misunderstand you?.)   If that's what you say, then a hypothetical question for you is fully appropriate. And to avoid you ducking further, let me clarify, Yes, Hitler wrote a piece of music that you think is REALLY COOL. And the question is, Are you still able without hesitation to enjoy, play and share that piece of music????

Again, if you say no, you've got some explaining to do. If you say yes, you're being consistent, (as long as you really mean it.)

Sorry if I'm being harsh with you, but you're making some great points in this thread and I want to see you follow your thoughts thru, not duck out when the hypo gets tough. (It's the lawyer in me. Can't be helped).
