That a little easier to understand?
I see what he was saying and I agree to an extent but I don't consider
pretension the EQUIVALENT of art as thats not solely what it's about.

I wasn't "comparing" pretension to the necessities of an artist, I was (jokingly) saying it WAS ONE of those necessities.
And pretension can't be the equivalent of art. "Equivalent" means that something is essentially the same as something else. Pretension is a characteristic of some people, and art is... art. How in the holy hell could they be equivalent??
Soooo before you go accusing people of not understanding the scenario (or of not knowing how to read!), might just want to make sure you've got a handle on it yourself.
Sorry, I wanted to eject myself from this whole deal, but you sort of keep going on about it, in sort of a grating way.
