I do not like the signature at all, — in fact I cannot find words to express how much I dislike it.
It was never physically attractive to me; neither graceful nor beautiful, and you evidently know nothing of the laws or properties of beauty. Otherwise you could not have posted such a signature, as it could only disgust me.
Whatever liking I have had for you, it has never been of such a character that I could be otherwise than disgusted by such a signature as that. It is unutterably coarse and gross and beefy. It is simply unendurable.
Not that I object to forum signatures — or even to an utter absence of graphics, when the unveiling reveals attractions which the eye of the artist loves as something shapely and beautiful. I have an instinctive and cultivated knowledge of what physical beauty is, and anything in direct violation of my taste and knowledge — like your signature, — simply sickens me. I have studied every post and method used by graphic artists, and more; and know what form is and beauty is. You must not think me a fool. You are a fine person in regard to health and strength; your signature is not handsome or even a tolerably good looking, and your post is simply horrible, horrible, horrible.
This is plain speaking; but I think it is necessary for you. You cannot make your signature physically attractive to me. Don't try. I am an artist, a connoisseur, a student of beauty, and it is very hard to please me. Don't disgust me, please —
Yours truly,
