Baudelaire was acquaintances with Victor Hugo and didn't despise his work; he could be amiable to anyone who was an artist, and especially anyone who was an artist that could make him money. He also wouldn't have minded someone that would get him drink and women. Furthermore, he liked childish playfulness and personality in artists and appreciated in his way the modernising of things. He wasn't a withering critic; he was rather a champion of art, and compassionate to most attempting it. You're clearly nothing like him nor do you understand him. By your own terms, whatever they mean, you're the nigger here--c'est simple.
