Well, I have found the discussion between Tim and Marvin to be refreshing and insightful. It's not every day that we novices will get to hear the reasoned and passionate opinions of two such respected talents. Nor, I suspect, will we frequently get to hear their opinions on the criteria for commanding respect. What makes a good teacher? What makes a good artist? The only people I care to hear discuss it are good teachers, and good artists.
And just as I was about to suggest we rename this place the Snorum, too.
I'll take some growling and snorting by experts over the gratuitous gladhanding of mediocre works any day of the week. And "mediocre" was the nicest word I could think of.
Decorum is no excuse. Stiff upper lip everybody! Take sides in private.
