the "delicate sensibilities" is sarcastic

I agree. It's the rules (one rule) I object to, not who it's applied to.
I stand by my statements about artists. I have the utmost respect for artists, including those on this board. There are several here whose writing ability I greatly admire, including one who's no longer with us. But there is nothing elite about the artists I know. Most have a very hard time of it.
