quote:
Let me spell it out for you Anders: I'm tired of reading so many bitter and unfortunately worded complaints about Spain, Spaniards, Spanish culture and Spanish society, especially from forum members who live here. I'm tired of seeing disrespectful words used to discredit people and things that the poster doesn't like. It's especially irritating when the poster's written Spanish is always full of mistakes and his observations about Spain are, at best, poorly understood stereotypes. It's the same self-appointed entitlement of the flamencólogos, except the flamencólogos look a whole lot better. You know, the "angry young man" attitude might work for a 20-year-old but it's just kind of pathetic in an adult. quote: Is it not important to define what flamenco is and what its not? No, it's not important, but it seems to make some people feel important. I'll tell you one thing I've noticed among the best flamencos: humility, discretion and respect for others. When they don't like something they usually don't talk about it, and if they must talk about it, they say "I don't like it," instead of "This is crap." quote: But please dont call these rumbitas flamenco, because its not. And you know it. That was classic: You, the artisan, telling Ricardo, the artist, what is and isn't flamenco. How would you feel if someone challenged your authority in similarly arrogant terms? Ahh, finally it came out Norman. Thank you. I like to know where I have people. That was full of bitter anger. They say its healthy to let it out. Just 1 question: 1) In your opinion, when is a player an artist and when isnt he an artist and how much artist do you have to be in order to have the right to have an opinion about on this flamenco site? Because according to you, I´m not artist enough to express myself about flamenco music on this flamenco forum... Or is it so, that when you´re an artesan, then you cant be an artist? And finally.... This with the written spanish, what has it to do with everything. Is your written spanish perfect?
