So anyone who disagrees with your subjective judgement is a ****wit? I
love you too, pal.

No, anyone who knows sufficiently little about aesthetic theory to
understand that under any sane definition that would be used by any
critic, curator or philosopher of art for the last 100 years, Banksy's
work counts as art - but who still also believes they are capable of
making a meaningful contribution to a debate about art, is a ****wit.

That isn't to say Banksy's work is necessarily *good* art, which is
indeed a subjective judgement.
