There are other sites out there for the photographer who feels he is already polished and professional and the only support he feel he needs now is through financial gain.  Or if a photographer feels they are above the comments of peers, let them open their own gallery on- line and see how much they don't need the support and assistance of their fellow photographers.

Art? Who on earth would think they were so good as to define art for everyone? It is only one opinion in a billion out there.  In my book, there is no authority on what is art ...only some people with better taste than others. But that's only my opinion. :-)

Which brings us back to the purpose of this discussion... its all about freedom of choice as to whether someone allows comments, ratings or bothers to open a thumbnail.  And its about freedom of choice as to what, if any, comment or rating is left behind. So what's the fuss?
