My apologies

I didn't mean to offend anyone. But I need to clarify one thing for michelob.
Iam no beginner, in fact Iam quite accomplished as a player. That doesn't matter. I wouldn't even think of posting because people are already biased by my post and would serve no purpose. You spoke your mind, I respect that.

Apology accepted, but you really should participate in my cante accompaniment challenge. People who ARE interested could learn a lot from an accomplished player such as yourself and I could get some valuable tips on flamenco tone production.

RE: My apologies (in reply to Dr.RDa)

I too accept your apology, along with my ignorance of Flamenco and character flaws you chose to highlight. However, particularly heinous was your reply to Ailsa for which I recommend you apologize, to her. You must have been blinded by anger to insult such lovely person.

Anyway, however fluctuating the gravity of the subjects on this forum, it is a rather utile tool and convivial place. You are absolutely mistaken about the members’ prejudice you assume. A sincere apology followed by your participation in the Cante challenge, or pointing us to some of your videos or audio would relieve any hostility, it always did. You seem to know the constituency here very well; haven’t you seen how “cool” everyone is?

No worries, Henry. I am also leaving the keyboard. It is six in the evening out here in the West; my daughter and I are off to find the best burrito in the foggy county of San Francisco.

I think pacodegarcia's signature pretty well encapsulates my feeling about ruben's method of conducting himself.

What a **** apology and absolutely not accepted by me.

I don't care if he is a good player, why wouldn't I just listen to Paco or one of the hundreds of other players who actually have a unique voice in flamenco?

To have relationships with other human beings it doesn't matter one bit if you are a good artist, only if you are a good person.

Jason you crack me up!

gj thanks for your support. In truth I was a bit upset because I have no illusions about my playing. I upload some things to learn and to make it "safe" for other new players who might want to share. Learning flamenco guitar has changed my life - for the better - so even if I never improve it will still have been worth it.

Peace guys

It's NOT Ruben.

It's actually someone who has been a member for quite a while and who logged in under a different name.

Both names share the same IP Address and email.

He's obviously taken a nutter and gone apeshit, so is now banned.

He's a Classical Guitarist from NYC.

My God....folk can purchase and carry guns there!!

cheers,

Ron

BTW....I think Ruben deserves some apologies here.

From Wiki:
"In Internet slang, a TROLL is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]"

Kinda sums up DrRDa's actions methinks

Ailsa - I really appreciate your (and Anthony's) efforts championing the beginners challenges, etc and look forward to hearing your continued improvement over the coming months.

Moderators:

Short of taking legal action, is there any way I can have this creep's identity? He just sent me a private message in the forum wishing my mother to die. Since we both are in the US I can press charges against him.

Whatever that person said, don't let it deter you from uploading stuff in the future. There are lots of beginners I am sure that lurk on the forum or never upload, yet get motivated with your uploads and try to improve. Everyone started as a beginner.

In fact, you have inspired me and I think there is a Guajiras lurking inside of me waiting to come out soon. Another beginner to be sacrificed on the altar of the Flamenco snobs.

You missed some fireworks, At_Leo, particularly the hideous comments about you. It is best you missed them, really

Ailsa, your progress is very inspiring. Do not let anyone suggest otherwise. Of all videos on this forum, when I see yours I feel the need to devote some proper discipline and perhaps engage a teacher to improve my own playing.
