Not much to add, no, but this:

To virtually claim that a writer or any speaker of his or hers mind is to be judged by who reads or listens to them, is to immediately disqualify oneself. I refer to the quoted parts about what german wikipedia says about Hofbauer.

Let's say John Wayne Gacy or Josef Fritz or Andrej Tjikatilo had read [insert favourite holy scripture], are we then to infer that said scripture is a staple among serial killers?

Perhaps whoever is editing his article on german wikipedia doesn't even realise what an error they made. They might actually think for real, that an author is to be judged by who reads his or hers works.

Couldn't agree more.

The telltale sign is the relentlessness with which they accuse others of being right-wing extremists. Just like they accused the unvaccinated of "breeding out variants" or "spreading disease".
