Individual interpretation

I have read a slew of comments about other's work. Some have useful suggestions, some just offering support. But the ones that irk me the most are the super-critical comments, especially the ones that debate whether the person's entry is art or not. If we strictly define art and all of its subsets by the textbooks, 90% of the entries on this website would not survive serious scrutiny. But this is not an art student's website. It is a public website where individual interpretation of artistic expression abound. I think all DA'ers should keep that in mind before we assail some poor soul's efforts with overly critical comments. After all individual expression which falls outside the boundaries of social norms is what this site is all about, ergo the title "deviant".
