I believe so. In a later message he was trying to claim that art (or the
enjoyment thereof) was NOT subjective, and went so far as to reduce it to
a math problem...

I think one of the things this moron couldn't understand was that to
improve culture, you add to it, you don't police it. In another message I
told him, "Look, if you don't like the art that's available, then create
something better. Don't nag people who create work you don't particularly
care for. If you can't create something better, then I don't see where you
have any room to complain."
I think where I made my mistake was replying at all...
