But just the opposite, I think I do understand, I understand that you are dealing with your own point of view and expression of it. I'm fully supportive of that and you. What I'm trying to point out is that you may be extremely wrapped up in ONLY your point of view and that you lose sight of the fact that there is probably a large body of people that find your position/expression extreme and therefore threatening, unpleasant, whatever. Because of this you're going to take some hits. The objective part I'm referring to comes from you knowing and accepting this and letting the hits roll off of you like a raincoat and not taking it so personally. Its not a cirticism of you as a person but of your art. This is a legitimate endeavor when you invite people to partake in your expression publicly. When they do, negativity is going to come. You need to lighten up when it does and not be so touchy. Like I said, your stuff may not be to my taste but I love that you've got the guts to be out there with it for whatever your personal reasons. I just don't think you need to be so defensive or hostile just because others are goading you.
Rock On Babe!
