It is not surprising that you would bring "church" into the discussion and take opportunity to claim that some in the "church" of art/music/etc. are intolerant and judgemental of others in the "church". Nice try - but it does not work.that way - not at all.
Nobody in the broad church of their chosen field
is intolerant or judgemental ?
Surely you don't believe it only exists in one's religion ?
This grading and panning happens every day. It is not "church" - it is human behavior.
Human behavior that extends well beyond a religion
or any one chosen field.
I've also heard politicians use the term 'broad church'
to describe the conflicting differences of opinion within
their own party.
As often said, there is no accounting for poor taste.
Well Knopfler is on record saying he still likes
cheap guitars...which might not sit well with highly
developed sophisticated types such as yourself.
"Loving guitars means you’ve got to love the cheap ones as well...
Boy, I loved them and I still do. You never escape that.”
