I wasn't apologizing (as if!).
I was pointing out the discrepancies in your two statements.
First you said there was a grain of truth in the statement that color
was obscene.
Then you said that claimed that you were saying something different.
Stop straddling the fence. You'll hurt your balls.

Here is what I said,
"... I am not saying that color photography is
obscene nor that it is for those who can't think
beyond bright colors. Sometimes the colors
define and improve an image. Sometimes not...",
in response to Jeremy's post. My statements
do show the both sides of the argument and
for "Some People" each side is correct.
It is a matter of opinion and not something written
in stone that must be obeyed by all. So
Annika1980, enjoy your shooting and I will enjoy
the images you produce.
As for my balls, they are no concern of yours.
For they belong to my wife. As I'm sure your
wife owns yours.

The mere fact that B&W images are off the beaten path these days makes
them
interesting. I'm gratified to see that some people are not blindly
following the crowd.

They used to say: If it's no good make it
big. If it's still no good, make it in color. The color then becomes the
content; sometimes the only content. With all the arguing about the law of
1/3s vs. the golden something, the winner is Velvia; Dig the greens. But
color stuff has a very short life span. There's a lotta "wows" that go with
color, but the B/Ws hang on the walls and the color winds up in a shoebox.

True, true...

I was just thinking, the paintings hanging on the walls
aren't in brilliant colors, they are subdued and subtle.
Think back to the last time you walked through an art
museum.

The obsession with saturation is, why?
