Punctuation Or Not

[milo]

Just to draw on an example that's come to mind (to avoid going in circles here). Would you classify The Road as an example of literary art or reject it for not using proper punctuation?

I think I already said you must be able to use punctuation /and/ to not use punctuation. To limit yourself to either is to create a poverty of your writing. The same is true of every other tool in the kit. If you become subjective as a writer, the writing suffers for it.
