Any work a person puts time thought and effort into has a certain degree of inherent value, just by virtue of that thought and effort. And by virtue of the enjoyment it gives to those who enjoy it.  Doesnt make it sacred. It just makes it incorect to state that a work is worthless valueless crap (in anything other than your persona opinion).And this stance does not cheapen anything. Now the stance you and takyris and others have taken selectively cheapens the creative proccess by labeling some people's creative proccess as wrong bad and worthless because they dont meet certain criteria that certain people have layed down, or because they don't fit the opinion of the majority or whatever.  Uhh....ok. I just said that my system consists of everything *having* a basic value due to effort and thought put into it. I dont really care what is collectively seen...whats collectively seen doesnt alter reality. And some things may have more value than others due to having a wider impact etc...my point is just that saying that anything is worthless drivel, if effort and thought have been put into it and/or if anyone has ever enjoyed it, is incorrect. How is it a misconception? a creative work...especially a written work...is the producers thought and effort made manifest. Saying that its worthless crap is saying that that thought and effort was worthless crap.</blockquote>
