The ensuing polemics were often bitter, and Iorga's vehemence was met with ridicule by his modernist adversaries. "Sburătorul" literary chronicler Felix Aderca saw in Iorga the driver of "the boorish carts of "Sămănătorism"", and Blaga called him "the collective name for a multitude of monsters". Iorga's stance on "pornography" only attracted provocation from the younger avant-garde writers. In the early 1930s, the avant-garde youth put out the licentious art magazine "Alge" sent him a copy for review; prosecuted on Iorga's orders, they all later became noted as left-wing authors and artists: Aurel Baranga, Gherasim Luca, Paul Păun, Jules Perahim.
