I understand, or at least I understand most of what you were saying (and your English is a whole lot better than my French). There will always be big and little injustices in the world. The Hot 20 is one of the little ones. Big or little, oft times there isn't a bloody thing we can do about them. But one thing everyone can do, if they choose to anyway, is to make their comments really constructive. By that, I don't mean blanket praise (although if the piece is perfect in your eyes, what else can you say?), but if it misses the mark, say why and what the person might do to improve. Just saying something doesn't belong in a gallery, or shouldn't be in the Hot20, is expressing an opinion ... but one without a foundation. Although, there is a lot to be said for expressing one's frustration. Venting is good for the soul ... or so I've heard. I guess the problem with venting when the topic is artwork, and the artist is taking the brunt of it ... oh, you know, it's like calling someone's baby "ugly". It may be an honest statement of fact, but that doesn't mean it absolutely had to be said.

Could be worse, could be raining.
