Graffiti Love it or hate it?

I've noticed some strong opinions on here going both ways and I find it an interesting topic for debate. I personally Love most graffiti but there is plenty that is lame and gives the genere a bad name, especially young writers who don't know the unwritten rules of breaking the rules, ie you don't tag or deface some thing better than your tag but you can go over a tag with something better with the end result being a more beautified urban landscape. But who in the nabe do you like? hate? wouldn't it be nice to see more murals? talk to me peoples!

I'd like to hold a graffiti writer on the ground and tattoo my name across his torso.

For every nice looking mural there's a ton of bullshit tags. It's ugly, it's illegal. I have no qualms with someone putting up a mural on their own property, or being hired by a property owner to make something beautiful, but since we have to put up with all the other inane crap that comes with it I'd rather have none.
