Paul, this is at least the second time that Herb has spoken condescendingly about the work and photographic style and preferences of others. It's not a debate .... I see it as Herb just being mean spirited.
It's nice of you to jump in and try to smooth the waters, but frankly, I think it's Herb's place to explain what he meant. The last time he did this I asked him point blank what he meant, and received no response. Nor did he respond to John Francis and one or two others who called him on this crap (AFAIK).
