You caused it yourself, though. If you hadn't said something equivalent to "If you don't share my taste in music you shouldn't be listening to music at all", I wouldn't have known you were a tard and consequently wouldn't have called you one.
See, it's not name-calling, it's describing an observation
An example: I don't really like the music of Wagner - but I know that there's a reason why so many people love it. I would never say something like "Wagner is crap" because I know it isn't. I just don't really fancy it myself.

You didn't like "Orfeo et Eurydice" - but you could have RESPECTED Gluck enough to not thrash it. That's all.

Here's a bit more "elitist nonsense": There's a Gluck revival going on. Some forgotten stuff is recorded for the first time. There's tons of good melodies for those who like his style.
