Re: Odp: Robert Yosef Bahr

[Kame'a Media <media...>]

Dear Jerzy:

I regret that my response was such a "shock".

I don't think it is fair to the artist
(and to the reader) for you not to have
backed  up your words.  (After your response,
I can better understand that you may not have
felt comfortable elaborating since you feel your
command of English may be wanting).

However, I appreciate a little =pozhondek=
in the organization of  a person's thoughts
and feelings when he/she passes judgement.

As someone who's had to fight to correct
misrepresentations and outright falsehoods
(not opinions, mind you) about his own work
posted on this global forum, I feel a solidarity
with others who may be similarly, casually
maligned without expressed good reason.

As my friend (and your compatriot),
Sarah Nomberg-Przytyk, Of Blessed Memory,
used to say:  "Always stick up for the underdog".

With best wishes,

Wolf Krakowski
