Peeps here probably just dont like having their sense of precious intimacy with a suject outed - we all like to feel that we're in the know, somehow believe that we know something the others don't.
Occasionally spying street art in the dark shadows behind some culturual vacuum in Islington or South Bank allowed us a moment of reflection - or the chance to let slip to foreign friends - "I know. I .. I, Ewen Nairn Dickie, KNOW who did that. I read about him on the internet!".
Now, this intimacy is outed - shared with all the other plebs - and we are angry. Angry, because we can be nothing else. Angrier still that said foreign friends have their very own Banksy Coffee Table book and need not the gritty reality of happenstance - they just turn a page. THEY have not earned it. But we'll always know we did.
