I'm really not advocating for anything. I was trying to explain exactly what you said: "[A lot of people] draw subjective and somewhat arbitrary lines between "art" and "vandalism", and when legality is indeterminable, that line probably has a lot to do with "whether I think it's pretty or not"."

The comment I was replying to said they didn't "get" that, so I was trying to help them imagine what someone might subjectively, arbitrarily think of tokyodude's absolutist stance. I thought it was pretty obvious I've never personally vandalized any of tokyodude's property (the "I"s were equally as rhetorical as the "you"s).

I think the way you expressed it was much clearer, though.
