Thank you for the new Kursk dawn mission Herrn Zee. Looking forward to it.

Yes, you make an excellent point frinik, separating their art from their personalities, politics and religion etc. is the fair thing to do and I kinda came down hard on the abstract stuff too. Although I really didn't want
to make a personal attack, my emphasis was on those who black list the
artists (who are as talented and even more so) because of politics. That's
all.
