Now, I am in a position to tie the discussion of art into the discussion of justice. To me, reputation is a serious matter, and elementary justice requires that one be careful in praise or blame, according to one's best information. People who are casual with the reputations of others, or go out of their way to harm someone's reputation, are acting badly. Malicious gossip is evil, and so is falsely taking credit.

The reason I am so "worked up" about fair comment on artists is a sense of obligation to know what I am talking about, and make sure that my opinions about artists are responsible. Although there is room for error and revision, I do not think that artistic reputation is arbitrary, and thus I think that those who do not know much about it should be diffident about opining, and those who do know much about it should take care to praise or blame as justly as possible.............
