Are too!

IMO artists are different. We have an inherent appreciation for beauty and a rabid desire to share our vision with others. I hold artists to a much higher standard than I do those who are non-artists.

For example, rudeness and the unwillingness to forgive are things that I can barely bring myself to tolerate in non-artists. However, this type of behavior on the part of an artist would lead me to doubt the integrity and validity of their work.
