And you do?  BD, all you ever accomplish is to stir fights and arguments
over peripheral issues and trumpet your own Hegelian theosophy.  Your few
forays into photographic criticism have revealed your taste to be, well,
boring, but, then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I generally
refrain from criticizing pictures another finds worthy of posting, and I,
similarly, do not post my own -- folks who wish to see my photography may
visit my office, but the pictures posted there are ones which please me, so
commentary is not welcome.

But, in your case, you often give criticism but, bluntly, you are relying
on that Pulitzer you were a part-winner of some twenty years back to give
you a credibility you lack.

Lighten up, and go with the flow, brother.  We all love you for who you
are.  The posturing is more than a bit absurd.  In other words, quit
playing to a New York-Boston audience.  We are worldwide venue who judge
you by standards differently than apply in those benighted regions.
