I'm guessing Simon is the RL name for a forum member. I generally don't keep track of RL names because that messes with the online personae and my mental images of 'people.'

So I'll vote if you tell me who Simon really is.




duende -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 8:09:17)

Simon made this forum. He invented it.

He uses the name "Escribano"




Anders Eliasson -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 8:19:55)

Maybe Simon is the best admin because we are the best forum members. So far nothing has really come to a point where it was nescessary throw people out etc.
The good thing is that there are a lot of people taking this serious. When something starts getting dirty, there are a lot of members saying stop.

I must admit though, that the last 6 month or so have been worse, we have a lot more disrespect, a lot more stupidity going on, a lot less respect for the discussion in the threads, meaning that if someone wants to discuss A, in less than 1 page this turns out to be a discussion of B.

I hope we can cope with this tendency, and I hope that more members will take this serious. Most of us know about sites which has gone completely crazy because of similar tendencies.

But.
Cheers to a great site, a great administrator and more than anything, great members

Well, he uses both names. To me, he's Escribano. Perhaps if I met him in the street with his mother it would be different...

BTW: who took away my 2 points?




duende -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 8:34:54)

i just gave you 2[:)]




koella -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 9:03:12)

I think Simon is the best.
He has that talent of being a good "father" : Let things go see what happens and only intervene when it gets out of hands.

That makes him good.

When someone like Flo or me would be admi, It woulde be a mess.[:D]
On the other hand, if Anders would be admi, things would be, uhm....not a mess.[&:]

Sorry, I'm only trying to be funny, I will hit myself 10 times with a leather whip now and do some mantras afterwards.

( Sorry I attack you Flo [:D] )

On the other hand, if Anders would be admi, we would sing religious chants every morning, before we started posting. And talk about burning certain forbidden humorous books


halleluja
So you guys decided that this sunday 12/11 was a good day to have a go at me.
You must be very bored since you like so much to be personal. There are other forums on the internet, where you talk about personal things etc.

I´m off




koella -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 9:32:52)

Don't take yourself so serious man. There are obviously a lot of different characters here. You should accept that instead of forcing everybody to see things your way.

But allright, I adapt my post because I didn't intend to have a go at you.




Escribano -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 9:36:43)

Thanks for the vote

Has simon posted anything lately?


Big house reformation is taking up a lot of time and too dusty to sit around with the guitar. Not sure if Admin is defined as quantity of posts though
[:D]

I would prefer less personal attacks. I can't see the point of wasting good bandwidth on it, especially when it is directed at a friend (Anders) who has helped me with my move to Andalucía by encouraging my efforts to try new things and to appreciate life.

So, to a late breakfast amongst the dust.




koella -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 9:37:08)

Come on people, it's fun to read this stuff in between practising guitar, no ?
You have to admit it.[8|]




Exitao -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 10:00:39)

Escribano:

I think you mean renovation or remodelling? But I know about dusty - I just don't talk about my love life here because it's off-topic.

Koella:

You bring a case of the Dutch beer over here and I'll let you have a go at me. [8D]

The Spanish call it reforming. The English might call it renovation (or DIY), the Americans, remodelling. Whatever, it involves knocking down walls, blocking doorways, building arches and running scores of trenches for the electric supply into concrete and bricks by hand.

NOOOOOO. It s not fun, and I will explain it to you (again) and anyone else reading this.

So you admit for the second time that you are troll.... Do you remember last time?

Last time you admitted to be a troll, you were warned, and also told that on most other internet forums you would have been excluded!!!!!! Since my whole attitude in this flame war comes from this episode I will tell it.

You had, some 6 - 8 month ago a IMHO completely stupid go at Kate because in your opinion she always posted the same stuff about Emilio Maya and she was very boring. You were very insulting and completely disrespectfull. You also said that it was fun to stirr up things here at the forum it made it more fun. Thats normally totally forbidden on a forum and normally leads to exclusion.
The whole story got me mad and very sad, because, of course, Kate more or less stopped posting here. I told her that IMHO she´s 10 times more flamenco than you and this because she lives with flamencos and has always been very helpfull to people wanting to come here and study flamenco. Yeah, she was posting the same things more than once, but what about you and me???????

It made me so tired of this place that I left for 3 month, and when I came back I saw that a lot of the same things were happening. Bullying because some have nothing else to do. So it was Thomas Whiteley, I dont care that Thomas had a way of writing and expressing things that a lot of members did not like, because I know that Thomas was extremely helpfull to a lot of beginners, and THATS what its all about.
So who´s next, me? well OK, I might have a tendency to express that I know everything, but at least I try to help someone who wants to know about Neckangle, glues etc.
And Next??? Ricardo...., because he´s to good and always have the right answer. Come on... I know you wont bully Ricardo. He IS to good, and I would get equally angry if you did so, because Ricardo is also extremely helpfull and patient. He taught me in few words how to count bulerias in two, this revolutionized completely my playing, so I´m very thankfull for that.
And next. Who are we going to bully because we are bored between practicing????

Take a look at youselfs and have a go at yourselfs if you see that you do more harm than good. Does anyone have the right to insult other people without reason.

I will not continue with this kind of arguments. I promise, I think we are reaching point zero and should leave personal stuff in peace and think of the best of the forum and not polish our egos. (I include myself)

Yes, I know, this time I was personal......... I´m a human being as well

Florian -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 11:15:42)

Simon , is the best forum admin ever imo.

I am sorry for causing waves sometimes Simon, they are done with good intentions.


ps. Anders theres no way on earth anyone would ever have a reason to pick on Ricardo because besides the fact that hes a great player hes the nicest guy on earth, i have never ever seen him put anyone down, or insult em or make em feel bad about theyr own playing etc.

he makes time for almost everysingle member here to download theyr audio and listen and advice or encourage etc.




koella -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 11:46:42)

Sorry Anders. Didn't know My posts have so much influence on people posting. I honestly only intent to make some jokes here and there to make things less serious here and there. I have no intention of deranging the forum.

Again sorry[&o]




Anders Eliasson -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 12 2006 17:38:05)

Its OK Koella[;)]




Ricardo -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 13 2006 2:13:58)

I have seen several forum Admins on other forums, act very tuff on some new comers. Feeling far superior and having the control to do and say as they please, all for the sake of keep control over their little cyberspace. Sometimes it is necessary, but more often it sometimes read like "bullying". And of course those admin have their butt kissers that always back em up and help gang up when ever a new guy gets out of line.

Escribano AKA SIMON, has been surprisingly easy going and low key compared to what I have seen. Of coure I have been here awhile, but like when Romerito came on and said something to Simon that revealed he did not know anybetter, that kind of thing on some other forum the guy would be chewed up and spit out in 2 seconds.

I have no fear of disagreeing with anyone on here, or a need to kiss up to anyone, my "buddies", but I feel Simon is a pretty cool guy and don't mind saying no one I can think of could do a better job.

Only thing is when the site goes down, I got nothing to do but practice guitar, and I hate praticing now a days! [:@]




el ted -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 13 2006 14:06:09)

Hola Anders,
I am fascinated by your phrase " He taught me in a few words how to count bulerias in twos" Could you tell me the secret please? My brain hurts having to count to twelve!!




el ted -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 13 2006 14:07:20)

ps The guitar you built for me is still having a happy life in rain sodden East Yorkshire!!




Francisco -> RE: Is Simon the best flamenco forum Admin Ever? (Nov. 14 2006 9:15:31)

LOL...2 people said NO. Brave souls. J/K
