We'll have to agree to differ then Vuk, but personally I find him impossible to listen to. The musical equivalent of a hair shirt. He seems totally incapable of finding the inner beauty beauty of music. I also find him incapable of balancing an orchestra to allow lines to come through properly. Maybe I've heard the wrong recordings, but I spent many hours listening to his Beethoven whilst writing a music criticism essay at college, it's not an experience I'd wish to repeat, nor his Brahms which I also tried in the interests of fairness thinking that someone so relatively famous couldn't be all bad.
I think what your statements mean Vuk is that if someone disagrees with you they must be wrong. Personally I think that Furtwangler lovers must be the sort of people who like listening to classical music because it's difficult, not because it's beautiful.
