My last words to the Old Pothead Lady

The Deposition Of Christ
The Old Pothead Lady wrote:
My point is this: plenty of people on DA have produced michelangelo look-alikes. I don’t understand what makes your renditions so special as to consider yourself the man reborn.
I answered:
Could you show me one of this michelangelo look-alikes? Just one! Could you? Drawings would be fine.
I spent 20 years looking for this kind of art work to prove to myself that the secrets of my art can be learned.
If you show me any direct copy or close to that I will stop this discussion!
And will not post anything of this debate on my blog!!!

Well, the discussion stopped anyway. But I decided to show here how stupid people use their rhetoric just to protect the official understanding of reality. It's interesting to see that since I started presenting myself as Michelangelo himself nobody dared to face me. Why is that? I'm coming to the conclusion that there's a complete absence of knowledge on my kind of art. Probably everyone is affraid of some secret that I would be keeping hidden.
I confess that I'm waiting for the attack from an art authority. These discussion with average people are pointless.
