Pretty bizarre stuff-- tone it down if you want to be taken seriously

As long as you're reaching your desired target resolution for your intended output, crop away.

Which will get you disqualified from any reputable contest!

Meh. I don't think so. In addition, even if almost everything is gotten right in camera, the perfect framing, especially of a moving subject, is often only possible in post. Maybe we just have different levels of discernment.

Your ideas may have had some currency in the days of film. No longer.

What keeps you from taking some one else's shot and crop it and then claim it to be your's?

Copyright law and ethics? Nothing would have prevented this in the old days either.
