That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I had to read this a few times and can you elaborate with other examples?
In the current example taste had nothing to do with it. The lady asked if she could restore the fading painting and he was ok with it.
The initial mural was said to be artistically unremarkable. He might have valued the devotion of a follower to volunteer help maintain the church above its artistic value.
You might be overthinking. All I said is that people with poor taste also show poor judgement. So it's not surprising when someone who promotes blatantly bad art also gets caught doing fraud and sexual assault.
As for further examples of bad taste and poor judgment, we need look no further than what remains of the White House.
I don’t think i am.
I am not speaking on the character of these people though, i don't know them. I am only speaking on the logic of the known facts.
Which is that no one promoted blatantly bad art at any point of time.
The priest gave permission before the restoration was started, there is no way to know in advance how a finished work will look.
Then they also didn't promote it, it went viral by visitors before it was finished. And the town allegedly hated it and the women was not allowed to continue working on it. (Which she is still sad about)
Going viral caused mass tourism which was an additional burden on the town.
The decision to ask money to see it was a reaction to the spontaneous tourism and to try balance the overload it caused on a small town.
That decision ended up doing more good then anticipated and only now the town views the painting as a positive.
Then on being: “one of six men to have been arrested by the Civil Guard as part of a fraud investigation.”
“Alleged sexual assault” is part of the investigation, but there is no mention of a victim or who of the 6 was involved with what crime.
At this point It might be as simple as he knew something from a confession and didn’t tell the police.
Your sentence about bad taste/poor judgement is therefore not relevant. We dont know their taste nor judgement.
Trump is a good example though but i can’t help but think there are people with good taste that have poor judgement and bad taste that have good judgement all over the world. Taste being very subjective also.
Well, this was fun. Thanks, bye!
