Yep. Anytime somebody begins their defence of a thing they like putting down something I or other people love, I'm out. I get the temptation to elevate your particular musical / aesthetic / political / what-have-you tastes above everybody else's, but it's a base impulse that needs to be resisted, because the whole point of it is to make other people feel small and stupid while making yourself look Better Than, and that's never pretty.
