I find it a bit unfair and hurried a conclusion, Nealf, although your intentions are certainly based on just premises.
quote:
The kind of mob mentality that has been displayed in this thread is nothing short of pathetic.
You're a bunch of adults acting like schoolyard bullies, making personal attacks on someone unknowing of the effect it can have on someone. (and you're probably too unthinking and selfish to give a **** too)
In this instance many members of the forum felt personally attacked and mocked by Evan’s snobbery of the foro and many of its members whom he handpicked to criticize. The disdain he received in response to his outrageous affront, was purely and undoubtedly defensive in nature, unlike the one you characterize as “mob mentality”. After all, we all spend so much time on this foro we all have a sense of shared ownership and pride which extends to protecting our icons, Jason, Ricardo, Todd, Grisha, JG (not gj) and many others whom we love and are enormously thankful to, for their edifying and educational contribution. Offending the foro and its members is offending all of us at large. Hence, the protective instinct.
quote:
Its laughable that posters have been judging his playing abilities when they don't have the cojones to put up a single video of their own on the foro. (you know who you are)
Posting videos and playing well are not necessarily the same thing. Some enjoy sharing their music through videos, some only through recordings, some through advice which –taken as a whole- shows knowledge and competence. Take Norman, for instance, I never saw any videos of his, yet am still left with the dogmatic unwavering faith in all he writes.
quote:
May I remind you that a prophet once said "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" ... nice to see that pack behaviour hasn't changed in a millenia .... Callous louts the lot of you. Grow up and act your age. Shame on you all
Finally, the same prophet (who technically was not a prophet) you quote, also reacted quite violently when merchants offended the temple. One should not remain idle when witnessing unjust deeds. If we all did, injustice would have its way.
Perhpas we should all drop stones and rocks, accuse no one and understand this is the recurrent incident of a new member who wants to pick a fight to attract attention.

I agree with Rain, why attack someone in so public and humiliating a manner??

how is it that you don't give a damn about his behaviour towards all the members who are helping and contributing to forum since years and calling them "internet flamencos" but prefer to talk about some fight of Todd and Flo, which happened years ago and which is solved already since years !? you are creating a new fight instead of trying to close one Mr.GoodGuy!
the forum was absolutely "Fight-Free" and full of good threads since Prof. leaved.
oh, and don't act like the one good guy in the school who helps the bullied !
because: there is no bully here ! guitarrista tried to bully everyone and put everyone down and he received the answer.
simple as that.
how is it that you don't give a damn about anything that this guy have said about others like Grisha and might have hurt them, but you are just concerned about what the reaction is ?
i remember some people when Professor was here.
they didn't care at all what he said to long time members here, as long as they could grab something out of his videos and save it on their PC. yeah, those guys who appear once a year and request a tab for free.
quote:

and this shows that you understood nada.
why the hell do you think that people wanted him to show something or judged his playing ?
have you ever seen ANYONE in this forum requesting from ANYONE to upload something ?
people upload because they want advice or they upload because they want to introduce something they composed or they upload to teach something. but NO ONE uploads for a fight or to SHOW OFF ! even in competitions, there is no fight like here, there is just this drive to learn something better and better and have some fun.
but in this guys case, we just had these two issues : FIGHT AND SHOW OFF !
and if someone doesn't upload video or audio, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have cojones.
we have different characters here. some like rombsix upload a video weekly and some do once in 4 years!
and some never do. how do you want to know who has cojones and who doesn't? do you really want a video from everyones big ugly hairy cojones to be convinced?
and even if someone would play worth than all other people here, he has the right to comment others videos.
and specially he has the right to request a video from someone who acts like the next paco de lucia, and not only that, but talk about other maestros compositions as if they were totally crap.
quote:
Six years as a member on this foro and its no wonder the original members have slowly slipped away one by one .... what we have here now are a bunch of elitist middle-aged flamenco know-it-all bullies.
don't talk like just because you registered in 2004, you are a better member.
what do you want to say with this elitist BS ?
you are the elitist here with your olschoolflamencoforo captain bob type of talking (everything and everyone past that time is crap!)
quote:
Anyone with an issue with what I have written here can start another thread with me as the topic .... get the pitchforks while you're at it.
if you want an own thread just because you said something here, that means that maybe YOU have the problem which you accused me in first post in this thread: quote:
feed your own ego
