I have sat and read these conversations for weeks now without offering any messages of my own. True, I did not understand a lot of what has been discussed, but what I did understand was ridiculous name calling. Is this all you people ever do is exchange hate-filled messages that expose yourselves as insecure, pretentious creeps who are afraid that the person next to you will be seen as more of an artist than yourself- stop insulting each other and everyone else and start working on your art.

What I find inspiring about Saul's loathsome comments
is the same as a visit to a museum or gallery. The way
the putridity of the background is shoved in your face
not even attempting to make the work the main
experience, but instead diminishing the work with
hustling brochures, tickets, guards, gift shops, lurid
publications, trinkets, all the apparatus of banditry.
Saul's comments are imbecilic prattle debris nosewipe,
and handy for revulsive forensicking to see where he's
been searching for stuff to steal and brand with his shitty
synonyms homonyms antinyms, as if his fake-high-brow
museum/gallery/critique was worthy in itself, proffering
a snotty homemade apish extra-diminuitive Getty like that
tiny oily thief.
I like his confessional self-loathing a lot. I think he's got
art awaiting release once his mind admits defeat and
disappears -- ha! about as much chance of that as
the vanishing of museums and galleries and their
buy-our-ambient-crud-devalue-the-artists industry.
Saul tells deep spinal truth without knowing it, blinded by
shallow forebraining.
