'tagging' isn't.

Basically the TOAP of the graffiti world is what lets it down.

# Or perhaps it's people with bad handwriting that lets it down.
I'm probably not against a calligraphy student doing some tagging.

# And therein lies my point.
Everyone thinks that theirs is worthwhile.

# Perhaps there should be a law on tagging, stipulating only those

# Yes.
I do not believe that graffiti is not art, despite clearly stating that. What I believe is that its criminal damage status far exceeds its artistic value and that even the best Banksy is no better than the worst tag if it is placed without consent.
