If Cage has taught you to be open minded, you go about it in a very odd way - patronising anybody with a differing musical opinion. This is one of the essential problems with this kind of 'modern composition'. It's supposed to be about challenging our attitudes towards art

I have no problem with people disagreeing or disliking something. My problem is WHY they dislike it, and how they feel comfortable voicing ignorant opinions about things of which they have little/no understanding.
You guys don't like things that challenge your perception of art, and that's fair enough. I get a "rat up my ass" when people can't respect something simply because they dislike it.
I preach respect and openness...and I've explained my position numerous times.
