Ah - finally. I hadn't heard a desperate cry for apartheid for almost
over a month.

I suppose you'll want a committee to decide exactly who is to
be on what side of the dividing line? Perhaps it'd be better
if laws were put in place forcing the nuevo dancers (as
designated by said committee of True Traditional Dancers)
to wear a Gustavo Naveira emdroidered upon their shirt¹?

By the way, your sentence is internally incoherent: if you want
them to keep away from the milongas (implied: anywhere you'd
fancy visiting, but obviously your own peer group is the
centre of the universe), then you really do care what nuevo
dancers do.

You simply don't care what they do when you're not around, but
that's a different thing.

Perhaps it'd be easier for you to stick to asking that they
behave courteously, wherever they are?

But no, you need your Feindbild to define your identity, don't
you?
