I've always considered the point of that section wasn't to point to
individuals behaving badly, but to point out the kind of behaviour which
does distress people and lead to people coming away with bad impressions
of nuevo dancers.
Arguing about whether this person or that person dances rudely is
irrelevant. What we should be talking about is "what kind of dancing is
considered rude?" Isn't that a much better discussion? Won't that have a
better chance of getting people to behave in ways that don't annoy others?
