Saltz finally buckles under pressure! Jerry Saltz sends this to me a few minutes ago after a fb friend of mine shared a link to his page:

· The only reason I am blocking you on my FB is NOT for anything
you have written about me.All that is great. No problem.
The reason I am blocking you is for a phrase you wrote to me that had a kind of violence to it and that for personal reasons hurt me: "Oh no Jerry. I am as serious as a heart attack!"
Thank you for all of your thought about me and my work.
...For a word man, Mr. sensitive pulls the literal slant on the phrase "serious as a heart attack"?! Citing a "kind of" violence? What a cheap way out. This guy is really something! lolThe reason I am blocking you is for a phrase you wrote to me that had a kind of violence to it and that for personal reasons hurt me: "Oh no Jerry. I am as serious as a heart attack!"
Thank you for all of your thought about me and my work.
As I said before, This is not about a well worn cliché - phrase written during a sporty and VERY civil exchange that occurred three weeks ago (as he has commented and liked since) but this is about today's criticism piece of his recent article...It is the straw that broke the camel's back. Saltz is a regulator who does NOT want a level playing field and has clearly shown this by cutting off access to his audience. Watch out for this guy art world!
