I'm a coward and hiding because I don't want to reveal where I went to school and I don't want to circulate rumors? Remarkable. Perhaps one day we will meet, and you can explain all of this to me. I prefer to wait till then before I decide for myself what people are saying about you.
Or perhaps you can explain to me here. What exactly was/is your point about art? What are you trying to prove? Is not attacking the arts in this state akin to, in terms of cruelty, shooting ducks in a rainbarrel? What do you mean when you speak of fraud? Do you have anything constructive to say? Can you speak your point clearly and rationally--as opposed to hiding, yes hiding, behind the ruse of rant of questionable sanity? What's with this coyote thing anyway?
How helpful is it so say, after the fact: "look, I told you we were going to go through hard times." Every artist and art-organization knew this as soon as the economy turned downward. There have been scads of articles written on the subject over the past two years. It happens during every economic downturn. Do you have anything original to offer?
