Will,

Since I basically agree it's hard to provide logical refutation.

Those that would not agree there is some standard are just going to say "phooey who are you to judge my art?"

Aren't you asking an unarmed man to draw his sword?

(hmm maybe an armless man to draw his sword in some cases...)

They'll tout their self expression standard is just as legitimate as contrast, texture, color harmony, balance, etc. etc.

Unless we can get Matt to ban them then we put up with them, kinda like this athlete's foot.... until they burn out or their understanding matures
