[Tango-L] pre-school all over again

[Amaury de Siqueira]

Wow!!

I have to say that the longer I live the more convinced I am that humans instead of aging indeed do regress mentally over time --  or maybe even do not mature at all after their 5th B-day.

The latest "Chicho" exchange is proof of that....  the funny thing though was Chicho's remarks..... he simply said..." wow that was long ago... not arms just connection."  That was it no 'blah, blah, blah'. Just a quick and simple statement....  and the conversation ended. :- ))))))

And here we are some of you bickering.... talking this and that about someone that is above all of this.... really he is simply concerned with dancing... 

For me this situation is very much like this... A bunch of people bored with their 'real life' routines select an artifact (anything like video, music, dancing style) and go on a tirade using that artifact as an outlet for their insecurities and other stuff....

I feel for the moderator of our list... their 'babysitting' job must be at best tedious.

Shame on you... really

Amaury

Future posts by "Noughts" and "Vince" are temporarily being reviewed to ensure that they are rules-compliant. This is usually done for posts that violate the "no flaming" rules (most other rules violations get a warning, or are often ignored if they are minor and/or not repeated).

I hope, however, that they do continue to post, as much of the content was otherwise informative and interesting.

As far as another reader's comment:

Point well taken, but allow me to suggest a more constructive response (than complaining to the list, or at least in ADDITION to complaining to the list): Post something to the list YOURSELF that is the kind of post you would like to see, written in the way you would like to see it written. No better way to make the point than by example, and the list then benefits by a well-written contribution as well.

And anyone who is reluctant to post for fear of being attacked: well, indeed your IDEA or OPINION may very well be "attacked" (disagreed with, perhaps strongly, though one hopes respectfully), but any PERSONAL attack, although I cannot guarantee will never happen, will certainly be short-lived, at least on Tango-L, and should therefore become rare.
