You don't even know the pieces I'm talking about, do you?

Duly noted. "Without standards there is no such thing as art" is an opinion and it's not based on any knowledge, because it's a subjective term used to describe an object that pleases us. No one is more right or wrong than another. You don't even understand what the term "standards for art" means. It has nothing to do with whether the image is pleasing. Goya's "Saturn Eating His Own ...

Well, then, that must mean that my opinion that you are a blithering idiot hold just as much weight as your opinion of yourself. By the way, do you go to doctors when you're sick? Or do you ask random people on the street for diagnoses, given that the doctor's opinions hold no more weight than the hobo with a "NINJAS KILLED MY FAMILY - NEED MONEY FOR KUNG-FU LESSONS" sign?

This suggests that you believe that all opinions are of equal value. Is that correct or not?

Maybe I should have committed your posts to memory in case you decided to make a humorous reference to them later. However, I decided to dedicate that part of my brain to remembering how paint dries, since it's rather more interesting.

I know who Earnhardt was and who his son is, I was required by Texas law to watch the funeral on television. What the hell does NASCAR have to do with this discussion? Are you resorting to non-sequiturs now? Or perhaps are you just not funny?

I assume from context that this was supposed to be some kind of burn, but it has failed so completely that I don't even know what it's supposed to mean. Should I feign some sort of dismay?

Wait, you're claiming that I'm a sockpuppet of Unchi or something? Wow, man. Thank you. That's the nicest thing I've been told all day. If people are mistaking me for Unchi, one of the best posters in AD, then I must be doing something right.

I'm a sculptor, does that help?

I'm not trolling you, I'm dead serious. You are using huge blocks of words to cover up your core issue, which is that you have serious problems with the very concept of criticism. This is obvious to everybody and it's really quite sad. If you can't explain your point in two or three paragraphs, just give up, because you're wasting your time and everybody else's. Verbosity doesn't make you l ...

Wow, look at all those words I'm not going to read. Why not just cut to the chase and say what you really mean: "we don't like people being critical of our artwork and therefore we have decided that there are no rules for art". The professionals are not scared of your artistic philosophy, like you both have implied. You are not "heretics" or bringers of new wisdom. You are simply shitty ...

Wow, and you were accusing Unchi of taking this thread too seriously. Your whole argument is still a tautology, by the way. "Science is true because it is the study of true things" is not a useful logical construction. Maybe you should read some Popper or Kuhn or something.

You are so amazingly dumb that you don't even understand when people are making fun of you.
