Oh, its installed in one of Switzerland's Premier Architectural Firms, so it
must be good.

That must stroke your ego. Ivan

Oooh, dear, dear Kandinski. Now we knuckle down to your real nature. All
that turgid stuff about the nature of god, and your struggle to merge with
the godhead, or whatever. But when it comes down to it, there's nothing like
a good old 'sod off' to make one feel better, is there.

Oooh, you slay me baby.
Tell you what though, I can take it or leave it. I'm public, I don't hide my
identity. I'm not scared. I have changed the world. I have debated in
public, in real public. I have won and lost arguments. I have created art,
and business. And when I do, the evidence is there for the world to chew
over, should it choose. But you, Kandinski baby, hide yourself.

On September 8th (which happens to be my birthday), you sent 41 emails to
the Rhizome list. On the other hand, I took my family to a working museum
where I learned how to burn chalk to create lime. That's art to me.
Get a life, K.

Dear Wassily,
And I rest my case. You are on a trip into your own self importance. You
can't keep your fingers off the keyboard. You can't resist a response, no
matter how trivial the exchange has become. Your facade of ultra-smart all
knowingness quickly dissolves into one line name calling. 'Sod off, idiot.'
Jeez, my five year old can do better than that, and with a knowing look.
Sure, you are good at keeping meaningless conversations going and drowning
out the list. But I've met a lot sadder, and a lot wiser than you who can do
that.
Of course, in your bubble where you are right and everyone else is an idiot,
this won't mean much.
Bye,
Ivan

Kandinski, If this is the best you can do, please leave the politics and the
insults in the schoolyard where you got them from. Ivan
