We voted for this forum and the person who originally thought of this forum didn't mean it to be just of the arts...you can't take those definitions too seriously.
Or this "i'm proposing one culture forum, not one for each art form - i don't see why that would be necessary at all. "
Or the vote itself which listed this: "Culture forum only (Movies, literature, art, music, opera, poetry)"
it wasn't limited to the arts?
Silly me, I didn't understand what I was voting for.
