Like Photoshop, HDR images can be excellent if done tastefully but if done over the top can look hideous. Done right an HDR image shows what we see - if we look at the ground the sky doesn't turn bright white does it? If set about the right way the final image should look natural after all using ND graduated filters can give a similar effect.
I think an HDR images should be allowed as long as it reproduces a true account of the initial scene.

Quite true, but with cameras such as mine post processing is necessary to bring the image to life.
To me it's how the image is envisaged in the eye of the photographer - the digital camera is merely a tool to record what is there as is the computer to manipulate the recorded data into an output image the photographer initially saw.
The old adage, 'All things in moderation' should be applied.
