New York magazine art critic Jerry Saltz is known almost as widely for his animated online persona as he is for his reviews (see Jerry Saltz on Why Street Art Throwdown is Complete Crap). He is famously fond of posting provocative, sexually explicit artwork on both his Facebook and Instagram pages, much to both the chagrin and amusement of art world onlookers. But it appears this time, he may have gone too far, at least in the eyes of Facebook and some of his (apparently ill-advised) Facebook friends.

Earlier this afternoon, Saltz uploaded a handwritten note to his Instagram page, which reads: "To all the Purity Police who complained to Facebook that my Midieval [sic] + Ancient pics were "sexist," "abusive," and "misogynist:" Congratulations!! You got me axed from Facebook. You will pay in blood, but not your own. Xxo" imgur.com/gallery/k63VWxi
