Thanks for the help.

I am submitting a "comment" to Ceramics Monthly magazine. I am trying to point out what I think is folly in the reasoning of a writer/potter named Jack Troy. I thought I would do a take-off of the old "all work and no play make Jack a dull boy" with "all words and no clay make Jack a bullshitting Troy". I thought the coarse language may exclude the piece from publication and it doesn't fit the one syllable meter either.

In his article, Troy is trying to describe why someone else doesn't "get" his art. In reality, that someone actually does "get" it, despite Troy's protestations. It is Troy who is part of the "Emperor's New Clothes" world of art -- art is what he says it is, not how it speaks for itself. In other worlds, clearly, Jack Troy's clay art is reliant on his description. The clay doesn't speak for itself.

anyway, again, thanks for the helping hand.
