Occasionally I come across a manager in some business that is wholly inept at
dealing with some portion of his audience. I know this manager of a small
engineering company that I swear to you hates engineers. At least this is the
conclusion I have come to over years of watching him flounder at his job.
I would suggest that you cut this guy some slack. I doubt he really meant to
offend, it's just that he doesn't know how to handle the sensibilities of an
artist.
The downside to this is that the GO will strike again. They can't help it. If
you can be diplomatic (i.e. be the adult) it may be very rewarding.
