I still love you, Fritz. *hugs* But I'm not going to pretend your flaws weren't larger than life too.
(I will say I'm less critical of how he treated his wife than a lot of biographers I've read. There are specific things he said and did to her that I will agrees are no-nos, but there are multiple occasions where some biographer exclaims that such-and-such was unconscionably cruel, and my reaction is, "Okay, but, like, it really wasn't.")
