Do you think I'm a teenage hoodlum? (I'm 36, a professional artist, and a teacher, for the record.) I've made public art many times before - it was not technically graffiti but I'm sure that some of it was just as illegal as spraypaint.
You may believe what you wish about my goals, but I can clearly say that I wasn't trying to piss on anything. I was trying to express myself creatively, and I was hoping to entertain and educate people who happened to be passing by an otherwise dull and lifeless concrete landscape. In the same vain, I also enjoy when others do the same kind of public art. Good graffiti included.
Hmmm, that's a little harsh, don't you think?
