If graffiti is a kind of conversation it's a pretty solipsistic one, a 
  dialogue of the deaf, peppered with Pinter pauses, for there are none so 
  deaf as those who will not listen. The standard polarity is between those 
  who insist that graffiti is a modern art and those who think it a 
  vandalising nuisance.
