If you're in it for the art of it, then you have no reason to be getting your work published.

Not hardly;  you can want to get your story out to people who will appreciate it, which to my mind counts as being in it for the art, without thinking "this is a way of making money".

Well, yeah, there's that, but if you're in it for the art, then shouldn't you also be willing to except that not everyone is going to view it the way you do? I don't know, the guy just seems out of it, to me.

That dude was just pissed off because someone agreed with what the voices in his own head tells him.  I suspect it may have been his sense of taste

This guy is completely crazy, no argument; I just don't think being in it for the art and wanting to get published are exclusive at all.
