The bottom line is - everyone has a right to their own opinion. Making a statement in a public forum such as a talk show, newspaper or magazine article, or even bonsaiTALK, invites scrutiny. A person can relate to or take offense to things said, simply because emotions get involved.

In reading the link that Salix provided, my opinion of Mr. Parkenham became a little more solidified. I think he's somewhat of a jerk, but he's still a darn good photographer. And whether he's viewed by others as a jerk, doesn't matter at all to me. My opinion won't change the course of his day.
