You're confused. I never said I rejected abstract art, and I never claimed that if you reject abstract art, you must love photorealism. Please reread what I wrote.
"Abstracts of all sort have room for me in them; photorealism doesn't." and the rest of your post heavily implied that the only options are abstract art or photorealism, and doesn't even mention the many different traditional styles. But you are correct that you never say so explicitly.
It's a forum comment, not an art history dissertation. I chose photorealism as it contrasts very explicitly with abstract styles, and, because I don't care for it. There's no need to read anything more into it.
