Love,

Paint your own room or locker or clothes however you like, and I'll do mine. But why should YOU be the one to decide how our common ares look? I like to use paint to express myself too. And true, To me, most of the buildings here are are ugly enough – why without draw attention to them with something that looks like my little nephew practicing his alphabet?

Even if we fail to stop some ugly civic building project, at least we have the opportunity to go to a pubiic forum and have our say as a group. We have NO SAY about what you make us look at. Obviousl though, that's at the heart of it…. the whole idea, low self-esteemblah blah blah, narcissism, low IQ. And I know that you actions reflect a feeling of disenfranchisement, but because the are so undemocratic, they earn no respect or sympathy, just ire at our entitlement and immaturity. Y'know?

At least just own up to it that this is about a small group of guys with nothing better to do than keep pissing on each others' bushes. This is a completely natural instinct and all, just like wanting to shit right there on the sidewalk rather than going to find a bathroom. But I am sure no one, not even you, believe we not better off to avoid such instiincts.

I agree that these taggers need to get some Clearasil© and find a girlfriend or hone a marketable talent. I have known and been intimate with a few taggers and have noticed that they tend to have dicks on the teensy, soft side, – which confirms what we all suspect about their motivation.

There's no excuse for painting historic brick facades. This is why people vote against skate parks, doy. And to the Banksy fan poster upthread, yes – Banksy ROCKS.

So by your logic when you get caught and get your ass kicked, fingers broken, and need stitches, should we then just tell you that beat downs happen and you should get over it? You can fix that giant cut in your face with a few cents of thread and those broken fingers will only need a dollar's worth of plaster. Get over it retard.

You people sound retarded. Those repair figures are blown up, you can fix the problem with $15 worth of house paint. Graffiti happens, get over it.

Nothing's damaged, it's just a changed aesthetic. Don't like it? Don't look.

“you sound like some white middleaged old hack …” -At least I don't sound like an ignorant child.

“whtevr arguing online about something is pointless” -but it does keep me entertained while working.

“I guess you have to be a writer to truly understand the effort and craftsmanship people spend on their so called “ugly scribbles” to make them look nice.” -I don't need, nor do I care about the effort a vandal takes to create crappy scribbles. There isn't any beauty in it as it lacks form or substance. The beauty or craft is solely in your mind since only you find any value in it. Burglary takes effort too, but I don't find any appreciation for that either.

“I don't intend to give up on something I enjoy just cause some people might not appreciate it whatever ” -The reason people don't appreciate it is because it is destruction. People also don't appreciate theft, assault, murder, child rape, etc and that's why all these things are illegal. Have you ever thought about why tagging is illegal? About why almost all people don't appreciate it?

Since you think you're such a badass, why don't you meet us all at the corner of 24th and 80th tomorrow morning when Larsen's, Cascioppo, and the Mail Box all open? If that doesn't work, you name the time and place and we'll be there. Then we'll get to see how tough you really are.

I'm guessing you won't ever show though since you're nothing but a coward who hides behind his keyboard and a spray can.

Also, the city spends millions of our tax dollars on clean-up and that money could have been used for other positive programs.

Vandalism is a waste of everyone's time.
