RE: Flamenco forums and people come ... (in reply to duende)

I never really understood the fights that can happen in flamenco forums. To be passionate is one thing, but I think something's wrong when it turns into anger. I see angry posts which must have taken hours to type up (I'm doing this here at work, so it doesn't count

), so many hours better spent practising.

I inherited my over-politeness from my pops which can come over as pretty superficial sometimes. My mom's a battleaxe

but I missed out on those genes... Just don't feel like stepping on people's toes and keep a lot of opinions to myself - I could probably contribute more if I were more open.

When fights start (even aimed at me) I try to ignore them, especially when they get personal. Life's too short to get uptight about the opinion of somebody you'll likely never meet.

Love and respect to you all
John

J150177

I totaly respect what you are saying and your character and even agree with parts of it, but i am at the point now of, life is also to short to pretend like you agree with someone just to not make waves.

I for one would like to know what you really think, even if u disagree with me.

I am not saying u have to fight or be rude but u can still argue a point quite politely.

Here at the forum i think the most important thing to be is yourself and use common sense and know how to not cross the line.

Same goes for everyone, everyones ideas and opinions are encouraged and infact necesary, otherwise u only get 9 views out of 200 users that are visiting.

Depends on who you're discussing with. Germans love discussing things and a difference of opinion can take a very LONG time

I'm not so bad that I'd listen to a horrible sounding upload and reply "perfect!". I'd write "Sounds great, but..." Couldn't see myself writing it was bad, even if true. It's like throwing in a little positive to make the negative go down better.

On the other hand, if someone writes some sort of "Flamenco player X isn't really gitano" doo-hickey I'd tend to reply "Okay, whatever"

This J150177 tag is bothering me. I'm gonna change my handle to something cool. Any suggestions?

i am glad u feel that way cause its bothering me, is very hard to remember excpecially if there was an J150176.

How about one of your names ? not your surname if u are worried about beeing anonymus.

or if u wanna go for the spanish thing, EL Germano

Ha, what a coincidence that'd be, exactly one year older with the same first initial

John's so darn boring. Haven't quite earned a Spanish nickname yet...

So let's make it more exciting with the last initial - John_O....

LOOL, I thought the numbers should represent letters! I wasted days and nights about thinking what "J1153427345" would be
