There is a difference between criticizing an artist's work and calling
it garbage.  You opted for the latter, hardly a constructive or
worthwhile thing to do.

So you dislike a particular artist.  Big deal.  If you can't give some
reasonable, intelligent explanations of *why* you don't like that
artist, you've merely been wasting keystrokes.

But you haven't been critical of her yet.  You've merely been insulting
and offensive.

No, but I am a supporter of the use of intelligence when making net-wide
posts.
