You're confusing the art market with the art world, and people who buy and sell art with people who appreciate and enjoy it. There are vastly more people who appreciate it than who buy it. If you think it's all shit then that's ok, but if you can't defend the claim, then there's really no hope for you, no point in trying to discuss it with you, and really no point in you wasting your time emailing about it.
